关于此电子书

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.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR


Mary Shelley (1797-1851) was a brilliant and pioneering British writer, best known for her groundbreaking novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus." Born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, she emerged as a literary prodigy, fusing Gothic horror with thought-provoking themes of science, ethics, and the human condition. Her iconic creation, the tormented scientist Victor Frankenstein and his monstrous creation, has become a timeless symbol of the consequences of unchecked ambition and the essence of humanity.
As the daughter of esteemed intellectuals Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, Shelley was destined for literary greatness. Her tumultuous life, marked by personal loss and intense creativity, profoundly influenced her literary works. A true trailblazer in a male-dominated era, she defied convention and carved a path for female writers, leaving an indelible mark on literature and inspiring generations of authors to come. Mary Shelley's legacy endures as a testament to the power of the imagination and the enduring fascination with the dark corners of the human psyche.
