Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus

By Mary Shelley
Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In a chilling tale that blurs the boundaries between ambition and morality, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein explores the haunting consequences of scientific discovery gone awry. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but reckless scientist, defies the natural order by breathing life into a lifeless assemblage of human remains. What he creates, however, is not the triumph he envisioned, but a sentient being cursed to endure rejection and isolation.

As the monster seeks meaning and vengeance, creator and creation are locked in a tragic dance of destruction and despair. Shelley's masterpiece confronts profound questions about humanity, responsibility, and the limits of innovation, weaving a gripping narrative that resonates as powerfully today as it did when first published.

Frankenstein is a timeless exploration of the dangers of unchecked ambition and the depths of human emotion-a Gothic classic that continues to captivate and provoke.

Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus Reviews

4.0
“umm wow? i have no words for the sheer brilliance of mary shelly's mind, just wow. i felt every emotion imaginable during this read and while it did take me a while to finish, since i found the content to be quite heavy, the last bit just flew by and i desperately needed to know how it ended. this is such a profound depiction of rage, love, loneliness, despair, grief and the sheer lengths one is willing to go to in order to exact one's will. definitely a read that will stick with me for a while.”
“"Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it." I've saved so many quotes from this book and I cannot believe it took me so long to read it.”
“TE ODIO VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN, NUNCA NADIE ME HARÁ ME HARA SENTIR UN POCO DE SIMPATÍA POR TI”
