Official synopsis Publisher
“Frankenstein” is the classic gothic science fiction novel written by Mary Shelley when she was just eighteen years old. It’s one of the first science fiction novels written, and serves as a warning to mankind that the blind pursuit of scientific progress may not always be in our best interests-just because we can do something doesn’t mean we should. An issue we wrestle with even more today with the advent of genetic engineering and cloning. Written in the early 1800’s, this story continues to have an influence across literature and popular culture. Over the past 200 years, this book has given life to an entire culture of books, television and motion pictures, and will undoubtedly do so long into the future. Victor Frankenstein would have been proud.
