Frankenstein, 1818 & 1831 Edition

Unlock the secrets of one of the most iconic works of horror fiction with Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." This unique dual edition brings together the original 1818 manuscript alongside its 1831 revision , providing a rich landscape for literary exploration. Often cited as the birthplace of modern science fiction , this seminal work confronts the harrowing themes of creation, responsibility, and the darker corners of human ambition . In both versions, we follow the story of Victor Frankenstein , a young scientist driven by the desire to overcome mortality itself. His experiments lead to the birth of a sentient creature, a being who finds himself rejected by his creator and society. As we venture from the icy glaciers of the Arctic to the misty streets of Geneva, Shelley unravels a narrative filled with tragedy, passion, and timeless introspection .
