Frankenstein – E-bok

In the icy shadows of ambition and obsession, Victor Frankenstein dares to unlock the secret of life, only to unleash a monster beyond his control.

First published in 1818, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a timeless tale of science gone awry, where the boundaries between creator and creation blur in a chilling exploration of morality, identity, and the human soul. Haunted by his own tragic experiment, Frankenstein must confront the devastating consequences of his actions as his vengeful creation terrorises all he holds dear.

A gothic masterpiece blending horror, science fiction, and philosophical inquiry, Frankenstein asks: What does it mean to be human—and what monsters lie within us all?


Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was an English author of science fiction, historical fiction and travel writing who is best known for her classic novel ‘Frankenstein’ (1818). Shelley conceived of the idea for the novel at the age of eighteen when she was on holiday in Switzerland with Lord Byron and John William Polidori. Following the death of her husband and two children she returned to England with her only surviving son, to dedicate herself to his upbringing and writing professionally. She wrote numerous works in this time such as the apocalyptic novel ‘The Last Man’ (1826) and the historical fiction tale ‘Valperga’ (1823).
