This Penguin Classics edition of Mary Shelley’s foundational Gothic novel chronicles the tragic consequences of Victor Frankenstein’s obsession with animating dead matter. Through a complex epistolary structure, the narrative interrogates the moral boundaries of scientific discovery and the profound isolation experienced by both the creator and his sentient, abandoned creation.
