Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus
Mary Shelley
“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:
psychological depthtimeless storymodern, intense, and emotionally richShelley creates a world of ice, storms, deserted roads, and lightning-lit laboratories, but her true stage is the conflict between:
