Frankenstein
About This Book
Driven by ambition, the young scientist Victor Frankenstein uncovers the secret of creating life — then flees in horror from the creature he has made. As his abandoned creation searches for belonging and turns toward revenge, the novel probes ambition, responsibility, and what it truly means to be human.
