Synopsis

Written by Mary Shelley at the tender age of 18, Frankenstein (or, The Modern Prometheus) is a well-loved classic, linking elements of science fiction with gothic themes. Victor Frankenstein is scientist who dabbles in the wonders of nature. In particular, he becomes obsessed with creating a man - piecing together bits of human beings into a human form and instilling it with life. But what he creates horrifies him. He flees, leaving the "monster" terrified, angry and completely alone. The monster has his own resources, however, and educates himself, becoming a creature of both sense and sensitivity... and demands Victor become accountable for his actions, and the existence of the monster himself. As relevant now as when it was originally created, Shelley's novel speaks to the science-based industrial world about the dangers of tampering with the natural courses of life and death.
