Beskrivning
One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'. HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics.‘The rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open…’Victor Frankenstein’s monster is stitched together from the limbs of the dead, taken from ‘the dissecting room and the slaughter-house’. The result is a grotesque being who, rejected by his maker and starved of human companionship, sets out on a journey to seek his revenge. In the most famous gothic horror story ever told, Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty and the pathway to forgiveness.Begun when Mary Shelley was only eighteen years old and published two years later, this chilling tale of a young scientist’s desire to create life – and the consequences of that creation – still resonate today.

  1. 4/5 Monica H

    Intressant att läsa om vetenskapsmannen Viktor Frankensteins liv och inte bara om hans " kända Monster" . Mary Shelleys språk är, med tanke på att hon skrev boken redan 1831, mycket lättläst.

  2. 3/5 -

    Bra bok!

  3. 5/5 Jessica

    En klassiker som sätter fingret på utanförskap. Och hur båda parter inte bör agera för att minska utanförskap. Sorglig, vacker, känslosam, fylld med empati. Alla bör läsa Frankenstein, den är så mycket mer än det människoskapade monstret!
