Frankenstein

A Gothic Masterpiece That Birthed Science FictionA stormy night in 1816 gave rise to a novel that would forever change the face of literature. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley weaves a dark, lyrical, and deeply human tale that has haunted readers for generations. Often misunderstood as a simple horror story, this is, in fact, a profound exploration of the boundaries of science, the nature of humanity, and the perilous costs of unchecked ambition. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist driven by an obsessive thirst for knowledge, dares to breathe life into lifeless matter.
