Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is the electrifying Gothic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist whose audacious pursuit of knowledge unleashes a being both terrifying and tragically human. First published in 1818, this enduring classic probes the razor’s edge between creation and responsibility, ambition and consequence, and asks what truly makes us monstrous: our appearance, our actions, or our neglect.
This reader-friendly edition pairs Shelley’s original, unabridged text with visuals that amplify mood and setting—from the icy Arctic wastes to the shadowed laboratories of Ingolstadt. A clear, chapter-by-chapter summary helps you track key plot turns and themes; a succinct biography of Mary Shelley illuminates the extraordinary life behind the novel; and a characters list keeps relationships and motivations at your fingertips.
Whether you’re discovering Frankenstein for the first time or returning to it with fresh eyes, this beautifully illustrated volume offers the perfect balance of literary authenticity and modern readability—ideal for students, book clubs, and anyone who loves dark, thought-provoking fiction.
