Sinossi
Uno scienziato con l'ambizione di sconfiggere la morte riesce ad assemblare una creatura con parti di cadavere e a dargli vita. Sostituendosi alla Natura ha però sovvertito il Suo ordine e ha generato un essere abominevole che viene abbandonato dal suo stesso creatore e che, per questo, non tarderà a vendicarsi. Prendendo spunto da teorie scientifiche innovative per l'epoca in cui è stato scritto, Frankenstein è in grado di farci riflettere profondamente sul rapporto tra gli uomini e tra questi e Dio, oltre che, chiaramente, di tenere viva fino all'ultima pagina l'attenzione del lettore per i numerosi colpi di scena. Un classico della letteratura horror nato da una geniale intuizione: può un uomo divenire il creatore di un altro essere umano? E come reagirà questa nuova creatura se inserita nella società?
