Frankenstein by
$24.95 Inc GST
Stepping far afield from his medical studies, Victor Frankenstein brings to life a human form he has fashioned from scavenged body parts. Horrified by his achievement, he turns his back on his creation, only to learn the danger of such neglect.
Written when Mary Shelley was only 20 years old, Frankenstein has been hailed as both a landmark of Gothic horror fiction and the first modern science fiction story.
‘Frankenstein’ is often hailed as a masterpiece of 19th-century Gothicism. The monster’s culpability for various horrific acts, his powerlessness in the face of his complete ostracism from society and Dr Frankenstein’s lies, abdication of responsibility and the pain he inflicts on his creation raise chilling questions.
