Frankenstein: (Serpent Books Edition)

Enter the chilling world of ‘Frankenstein,’ a timeless Gothic tale that unravels the dark consequences of scientific ambition. Penned by the brilliant Mary Shelley in 1818, this gripping novel follows the obsessive young scientist Victor Frankenstein, whose quest for power leads him to create a living being from stolen body parts. Horrified by his monstrous creation, Victor abandons the creature, triggering a haunting chain of events that explores the complexities of humanity, the perils of unchecked experimentation, and the price of playing god. Mary Shelley, a trailblazing figure of the early 19th century, was no ordinary writer. Born in 1797 to feminist pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft and political philosopher William Godwin, Shelley embarked on her literary journey at the tender age of 18. While summering in Switzerland with poets Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, Mary’s vivid imagination birthed ‘Frankenstein’ during a fateful discussion on reanimating the dead. Her groundbreaking work remains a riveting exploration of ethical dilemmas and the enduring mysteries of the human soul. This edition also features the iconic story of the conception of Frankenstein during one miserable, but fateful, summer. – ASIN: B0CV2L938T | ISBN13: 9798878456449 | ISBN-13: 979-8878456449
