Frankenstein
or, The Modern Prometheus

Possessed by obsession, the mad scientist Victor Frankenstein robs graves in search of material to create new life. However, the creature he manages to resurrect does not meet his expectations. Rejected by Frankenstein and deprived of human companionship, it decides to destroy its creator and everything dear to him. This blood-chilling gothic novel, written when Mary Shelley was only nineteen years old, became the precursor of a new genre. It gained the status of a perfect study of the limits of human creativity and destruction, as well as one of the most famous horrors in the world.
