Frankenstein; Or, the Modern Prometheus
(eBook)
Description
FrankensteinThis is a literary translation of the original public domain textThe language has been updated from the 19th century English of the original to contemporary American English.The text has been edited to remove to make it more concise and accessible to a wider audience.The essence of the story remains the same. Frankenstein has thrilled and engrossed readers for two centuries. Written by Mary Shelley, it is a story that she intended would 'curdle the blood and quicken the beatings of the heart.' The tale is a superb blend of science fiction, mystery, and thriller. Victor Frankenstein, driven by the mad dream of creating his own creature, experiments with alchemy and science to build a monster stitched together from dead remains. Once the creature becomes a living, breathing, articulate entity, it turns on its maker, and the novel darkens into tragedy. The force of the elegant prose, the grotesque, surreal imagery, and the multi-layered themes in the novel quickly sweep the reader along. Although first published in 1818, Shelley's masterpiece still maintains a strong grip on the imagination and has inspired numerous horror movies, television, and stage adaptations.
