Viktor Frankenstein, Professor an der Universität von Ingolstadt, hat aus zusammengestückelten Leichenteilen ein monströses, mit übermenschlicher Kraft ausgestattetes Lebewesen geschaffen. Doch er verliert die Kontrolle über das Ungeheuer, das eine Reihe von Morden begeht, um seinen Schöpfer zu zwingen, ihm eine künstliche Frau an die Seite zu stellen. Aus Sorge um den Fortbestand der Menschheit verweigert Frankenstein dies jedoch und verfolgt seine düstere Kreatur um die ganze Welt. In der eisigen Einsamkeit der Arktis treffen Frankenstein und sein Geschöpf schließlich ein letztes Mal aufeinander.

Dreamed up when the author was only 18 while on holiday in Switzerland with her lover Percy Bysshe Shelley and the poet Lord Byron, Frankenstein is the result of a challenge from Byron to each write their own "ghost story." The result was a tale that would become synonymous with horror, that would be the first novel to ask the question, Are there some things man was not meant to know?Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, discovers the secret to endowing inanimate flesh with life. Without thinking of the repercussions, he throws himself into realizing his ambition, only to recoil in terror at what he has created. Rejected by his creator and humanity, Frankenstein's monster is driven by the primal desire to know love or, if denied that, to inspire fear.

This stunning keepsake--perfect for fans of the mysterious and macabre--comprises Mary Shelley's classic tale of a botched experiment in immortality, "The Mortal Immortal," and "On Ghosts: An Essay," her appraisal of popular ghost legends.

Victor Frankenstein, a scientist, develops a method to infuse life into non-living matter. With this knowledge he brings to life a humanoid creature of a hideous nature. Victor and his creation become entangled in a saga of love, death, vengeance and sorrow as each discover the consequences of their actions.

"I beseech you, fair Mistress," said Lovel, who now joined them, "to forget, even in private, such high-sounding titles. It is dangerous to play at majesty, unaided by ten thousand armed assertors of our right. Remember this noble child only as your loving nephew, Perkin Warbeck: he, who well knows the misery of regal claims unallied to regal authority, will shelter himself gladly and gratefully under the shadow of your lowly bower."
