Description

The gifted young Swiss Victor Frankenstein discovers the secret of renewing life where death has apparently devoted the body to corruption, and makes a creature of his own - the most celebrated monster in the history of literature. The appalling creature, spurned by his maker, wants company and affection, but instead learns to hate and to, kill as he encounters only rejection and loathing. When his demand for a female counterpart is turned down by Frankenstein, the grim tale moves towards its horrifying climax as the monster tells his creator, "I will be with you on your wedding night!" Mary Shelley's great romance of the boundaries of science, and the destructive consequences of Promethean ambition, has fired the imagination of generations. Her exploration of humanity's power to sow the seed of death and ruin is apter today than it has over been.
