  Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature’s hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.
  Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

  What happens when love is felt deeply but never spoken aloud? In “Feuille d’Album” by Katherine Mansfield, a shy and socially awkward young man observes the woman who lives across from him, constructing an entire emotional world from brief glances and silent longing. His affection grows not through conversation or action, but through careful watching and inward reflection. Set in a quiet European city, the story unfolds as a delicate study of romantic idealism, isolation, and the fear of human connection. As the young man’s inner life becomes richer and more intense, the gap between imagination and reality slowly narrows - until a single, fragile moment forces him to confront the limits of his private dream. With her signature psychological precision, Mansfield captures the vulnerability of unexpressed love, revealing how desire can flourish in silence. Press play and step into one of her most subtly moving short stories, where longing lives in the space between seeing and being seen.
