Description
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity, presenting the epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. The novel tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young student who, in trying to create life, unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings him to the brink of madness. As Victor tries to destroy his creation, it destroys everything he loves, leading to a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror. This Penguin Classics edition, with an introduction and notes by Maurice Hindle, contains all the revisions Mary Shelley made to her story, as well as her 1831 introduction and Percy Bysshe Shelley's preface to the first edition. The edition includes a select collation of the texts of 1818 and 1831, as well as "A Fragment" by Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori's "The Vampyre: A Tale".
