Frankenstein

Descripción de contraportada

Victor Frankenstein is a brilliant young student at the university of Ingolstadt, obsessed with one question that no professor has been able to answer for him: where does life begin, and can a human hand light it? After months of secret work in a private room above his lodgings, on a rainy November night, Victor opens his eyes to see his own creation open its eyes too. What he made is not a monster in the cartoon sense: it is a thinking being, capable of language, of feeling, of grief. But Victor, terrified of what he has done, abandons the creature on the spot. From that abandonment grows a chase that will cross Europe and end on the ice of the Arctic, with a brother dead, a wife dead, a friend dead, and a creator and his creation finally face to face, asking each other the only question that matters: who, in the end, was the real monster? Mary Shelley's novel, written when she was nineteen years old, retold in five tight chapters as a warning that has never gone out of date.
