One of BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World. Frankenstein is the
most famous novel by Mary Shelley: a dark parable of science
misused. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of
stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges
and ribbon markers. These beautiful hardbacks make perfect gifts
for book lovers, or wonderful additions to your own collection. The
novel is produced here in its original form and with an afterword
by David Pinching. Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but wayward
scientist, builds a human from dead flesh. Horrified at what he has
done, he abandons his creation. The hideous creature learns
language and becomes civilized but society rejects him. Spurned, he
seeks vengeance on his creator. So begins a cycle of destruction,
with Frankenstein and his 'monster' pursuing each other to the
extremes of nature until all vestiges of their humanity are lost.
In 1831, Mary Shelley succumbed to conservative pressures and toned
down elements of the work; this edition presents the work as
originally intended.
