Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but reckless scientist, becomes obsessed with pushing the boundaries of nature. In his relentless pursuit of knowledge, he discovers a way to create life from death. But when his experiment succeeds, the outcome is not triumph but horror. His creation-a living, intelligent being-faces rejection and isolation, turning its anguish into vengeance. What follows is a relentless pursuit between creator and creation, a haunting tale of ambition, guilt, and the consequences of overreaching human desire. First published in 1818, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a landmark in both science fiction and horror. Reflecting the anxieties of the Industrial Revolution, it gave voice to fears of human innovation spiraling out of control. More than a gothic thriller, the novel is a profound exploration of scientific responsibility, the nature of humanity, and the price of unchecked ambition. Its legacy endures in debates on technology, artificial intelligence, and bioethics, cementing Shelley's novel as one of the most influential works in modern literature.

Author Information

Mary Shelley, born in 1797, was the daughter of philosopher William Godwin and feminist pioneer Mary Wollstonecraft. Raised in a progressive household, she grew up surrounded by radical thinkers, which deeply influenced her views and writings. Despite losing her mother shortly after birth, she was encouraged to embrace intellectual pursuits and developed a love for literature early on.At just 16, Shelley began a passionate relationship with poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Their union, often controversial, was marked by travel, tragedy, and literary collaboration. It was during a trip to Switzerland in 1816 that she conceived her most famous novel, Frankenstein, a work that would become a cornerstone of Gothic fiction and early science fiction.After Percy's untimely death in 1822, Mary Shelley dedicated herself to raising their son and continuing her literary career. Her later works explored themes of politics, society, and personal loss. Today, she is celebrated not only for Frankenstein, but also for her profound influence on literature and her efforts to promote her late husband's legacy.
