Sinopsis
When Victor Frankenstein succeeds in creating life, he discovers that bringing a creature into the world is only the beginning of his nightmare. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein follows the consequences of Victor’s ambition as his creation, rejected and abandoned by its maker, struggles to understand humanity and find a place in the world. First published in 1818, this original text preserves the novel’s political ideas, sharp wit, and distinctive female voice. Beyond its Gothic horror, Frankenstein raises enduring questions about scientific ambition, responsibility, isolation, prejudice, and the consequences of refusing to accept what we create. This Penguin Classics edition also places Shelley within the intellectual legacy of her mother, pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, and includes a new introduction and further-reading suggestions by Shelley scholar Charlotte Gordon, along with selected literary excerpts and reviews, a chronology, and an essay by Charles E. Robinson.
