Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
(Author)
Description
Though many know the film adaptation, the novel of Frankenstein (by Mary Shelly) is an exciting story told through letters between Captain Robert Walton and his sister, and then later Victor Frankenstein himself. The story follows Victor as he brings the now famous monster into existence, and what actions happen as a result. While the idea may be familiar, the beautiful prose, deep thematic elements, and rich metaphors set Frankenstein apart from most other books. Beyond those themes, the novel is also known for its discussion of the soul and commentary on what exactly gives meaning to human life

About the Author
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) was the daughter of philosophers Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin and the wife of poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. She was eighteen years old when she began Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus and with its publication in 1818 created science fiction as a genre. She went on to write six more novels, many short stories, and numerous articles, but Frankenstein, her masterstroke, remains her best-known work.
