Información sobre este eBook
Witness a chilling tale of ambition and creation gone awry. Dr. Victor Frankenstein, driven by a thirst for knowledge, assembles a grotesque creature from stolen body parts. Horrified by his creation, he abandons it, setting off a chain of tragic events. The lonely and misunderstood creature seeks revenge on its creator, unleashing a haunting battle between man and monster. Shelley's masterpiece delves into themes of ethics, identity, and the consequences of playing god. A gripping Gothic novel that continues to resonate, "Frankenstein" is a cautionary tale that explores the boundaries of science and the depths of the human soul.
