About this book
Victor Frankenstein discovers how to give life to dead matter. The creature he builds is articulate, lonely and abandoned, and it comes looking for the man responsible.
Told through letters and nested confessions, Shelley's novel is the founding work of science fiction and still one of its sharpest questions about responsibility.
