Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus
"Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" is the novel that forever changed the course of gothic literature and modern storytelling. Written by Mary Shelley at just eighteen, it was born from a question that still haunts readers today:
What happens when human ambition breaks the limits of creation?
At the center of the story stands Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist driven by obsession, and the Creature he brings to life-an outcast struggling with loneliness, rejection, identity, and the desperate need to belong. This is not simply a tale of horror. It is a profound exploration of what it means to be human.
This edition is perfect for listeners who want more than a classic:
- those who love psychological depth,
- those who seek a timeless story in a clear and accessible form,
- and those drawn to narratives that feel modern, intense, and emotionally rich.
Shelley creates a world of ice, storms, deserted roads, and lightning-lit laboratories, but her true stage is the conflict between:
creator vs. creation,
responsibility vs. ambition,
the desire to be loved vs. the fear of being seen for what we are.
If you are looking for a novel that blends tension, atmosphere, philosophy, and human emotion, Frankenstein remains an unmatched masterpiece-a story that continues to resonate, provoke, and captivate every new generation.
