Frankenstein

Gotik och science fiction möts i Mary Shelley's berättelse om doktor Frankenstein som skapar liv, men skräms av vad han bragt till världen. En brevroman om vetenskapens gränser, farorna med att stiga över dem och vad som egentligen gör ett monster

Horror. Romance. Science. A classic tale that would be a fright to miss!

The idea for the story came to the author, Mary Shelley, in a dream she had about a scientist who had created life and was horrified by what he had made. This Gothic-style romance is among the first of true science fiction novels, if not the first. A young scientist named Victor Frankenstein, after going through his own near-death experience, decides to play God and create life in the form of a grotesque creature, which turns into a nightmare. Through his experience, he learns that the gift of life is precious, not disposable. His journey and personal transformation has deeply affected readers.
