Title: Frankenstein – Or The Modern Prometheus
Author: SHELLEY MARY

The most famous horror story in world literature-the original tale of a mad scientist and his monster-is also a profoundly moving masterpiece.

No-one in the grip of Mary Shelley’s FRANKENSTEIN, with its mythic-minded hero and its highly sympathetic monster who reads Goethe and longs to be at peace with himself, can fail to notice how much more excellent the original is than all the adaptations, imitations, and homages which have followed in its ample wake. In her first novel, written at the instigation of Lord Byron and published in 1818 (and revised in 1831), Mary Shelley produced English Romanticism’s finest prose fiction.
