The result is a grotesque being who, rejected by his maker and starved of human companionship, sets out on a journey to seek his revenge. In the most famous gothic horror story ever told, Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty and the pathway to forgiveness. Begun when Mary Shelley was only eighteen years old and published two years later, this chilling tale of a young scientist’s desire to create life – and the consequences of that creation – still resonate today.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Collins ClassicsGenre: FictionTopic: Classic Fiction, Horror, Literary Criticism, Science Nature & Math, Biography, ParanormalRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
