"'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley is a timeless masterpiece that delves deep into the realms of human ambition, morality, and the consequences of unchecked scientific pursuit. Set in the backdrop of 18th-century Europe, the novel follows Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist consumed by his obsession to unlock the secrets of life itself. Through his relentless experimentation, he creates a creature, stitched together from various body parts, only to recoil in horror at his own creation. What ensues is a harrowing tale of abandonment, revenge, and existential questioning as the creature, rejected by its creator and society alike, grapples with its own identity and purpose in a world that shuns it.
Shelley's narrative not only explores the ethical implications of playing god but also delves into themes of loneliness, acceptance, and the search for belonging. Through the intertwined narratives of Victor and his creation, the novel challenges readers to contemplate the boundaries of humanity and the moral responsibilities that come with scientific advancement. 'Frankenstein' stands as a cautionary tale, warning against the dangers of hubris and the unforeseen consequences of tampering with the natural order, leaving readers to ponder the enduring question: who is the real monster?"
"Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. Shelley wrote the novel when she was 18 years old. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, and this audiobook is read from that text. Shelley's name appeared on the revised third edition, published in 1831. The title of the novel refers to the scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In modern popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as 'Frankenstein' (especially in films since 1931), despite this being the name of the scientist, and the creature being unnamed in the book itself. Frankenstein is a novel infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the 'over-reaching' of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully-realised science fiction novel and raises many issues still relevant to today's society"
