Frankenstein

Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus is a groundbreaking novel that blends gothic horror with early science fiction. The story follows Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist driven by ambition and curiosity, who succeeds in creating life from lifeless matter. However, horrified by his own creation, he abandons the creature, setting off a tragic chain of events.

Told through layered narratives, including the letters of Arctic explorer Robert Walton, the novel explores profound themes of scientific responsibility, isolation, identity, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. As the creature seeks acceptance in a world that rejects him, both creator and creation are drawn into a haunting journey of revenge and suffering.

Widely regarded as one of the earliest works of science fiction, this timeless classic continues to raise questions about humanity, ethics, and the limits of knowledge.
