An immortal tale about the dangers of excessive ambition and the essence of being humanThe ambitious young scientist Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with unlocking the secret to creating life. One fateful night, he achieves the unthinkable: he brings to life a creature of his own making. Horrified by the ugliness of his creation, though, he abandons this sensitive being, who desperately longs for love and acceptance. Rejected by the world and driven by a thirst for revenge, the creature ultimately turns against his creator - and everything he holds dear.
Amid the majestic landscapes of the Swiss Alps, a bitter pursuit unfolds that leads to the icy reaches of the North Pole and into the darkest corners of the human soul. Mary Shelley's timeless masterpiece is much more than just Gothic horror: it is a profound reflection on the dangers of boundless ambition and on the existential need for belonging and love.
