About this ebook
Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist from Geneva, succeeds in crossing the boundary between life and death by creating a living being from pieces of human corpses. Yet his extraordinary achievement quickly turns into a nightmare. Horrified by his own creation, Victor abandons it, setting in motion an irreversible chain of tragedy, guilt, and remorse.
The Creature grows with intelligence, emotion, and a desperate longing to be accepted. Rejected by society and forsaken by the man who gave it life, it is driven toward bitterness and revenge. As murder, betrayal, and suffering unfold, the bond between creator and creation becomes a devastating cycle that destroys everyone they hold dear.
Framed by Robert Walton's Arctic expedition, Frankenstein is a timeless exploration of scientific ambition, human isolation, and the consequences of moral failure. A landmark of English Romantic literature, Mary Shelley's masterpiece raises enduring questions about the ethics of knowledge, the responsibilities of creation, and the cost of humanity when innovation is severed from compassion.
