Description

Frankenstein is a dark parable of science misused, exploring the consequences of playing God. Mary Shelley's iconic novel tells the story of Victor Frankenstein and his creation, a being brought to life from dead flesh.

The hideous creature learns language and becomes civilized, but society rejects him, leading it to seek vengeance on its creator. This cycle of destruction drives the narrative to extremes, as both Frankenstein and his 'monster' pursue each other through nature, ultimately losing all vestiges of their humanity.

Produced in its original form with an afterword by David Pinching, this edition is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series. The novel has undergone changes over time, including a toned-down version in 1831, which is reproduced here.
