Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The novel explores the consequences of unchecked ambition through Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sentient creature in a controversial experiment. Written by Mary Shelley when she was just eighteen, it reflects her fascination with galvanism and the darker aspects of human nature. Influenced by her travels in Europe and a friendly competition with literary figures like Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, the story delves into themes of creation, responsibility, and the monstrous side of humanity, rooted in Shelley's own experiences and dreams.
