Description
"Frankenstein is a novel of tense and steadily mounting horror; but on a more profound level, it offers searching illumination of the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience, and of a monster brought to life in an alien world, even more desperately attempting to escape the torture of his solitude"--Jacket flap.
