Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus

by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus
Frankenstein or, the Modern Prometheus

Creation's consequences in Gothic, Romantic narrative.

If you're drawn to dark, thought-provoking tales, "Frankenstein" could be a fascinating journey for you. It's a cornerstone of Gothic literature, and Mary Shelley's intricate storytelling weaves a compelling narrative around the themes of creation, responsibility, and human fallibility. The timeless questions it raises about scientific advancement and moral boundaries still resonate today, making it a rewarding read for those who enjoy literature that provokes deep reflection and discussion.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
