Synopsis

He wanted to conquer death. What he created defied life itself.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is the haunting story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant scientist who dares to play god—only to be horrified by the living being he brings to life. The nameless creature, shunned by humanity, becomes a mirror of society's cruelty and man's deepest moral failures.

Written when Shelley was just 18 years old, this genre-defining novel explores themes of ambition, isolation, revenge, and the limits of scientific progress. Equal parts horror story and philosophical inquiry, Frankenstein remains one of the most influential and enduring works in literature.

This beautifully formatted edition includes period illustrations, annotations, and historical context to enhance understanding of Shelley's groundbreaking vision.

"The first true science fiction novel—and still one of the greatest." — The New York Times
"A gothic and philosophical masterpiece born of genius and lightning." — The Guardian

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
    BOOK 10. THE 5TH OF JUNE, 1832: Of what is revolt composed? Of nothing and of everything. Of an electricity disengaged, little by little, of a flame suddenly darting forth, of a wandering force, of a passing breath. This breath encounters heads which speak, brains which dream, souls which suffer, passions which burn, wretchedness which howls, and bears them away.

    "A Dill Pickle" is a 1917 short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in the New Age on 4 October 1917. A revised version later appeared in Bliss and Other Stories. The characters and their relationship possibly were inspired by Mansfield's older sister Vera Margaret Beauchamp and her husband James Mackintosh Bell.
    A man and a woman who used to be romantically involved meet by chance in a tea-house not having seen each other for about six years. We learn that the woman ended their earlier relationship in a letter she wrote to him, but we come to doubt that she expected the letter to do so. They sit together and reminisce about past events – for example, the day they spent at Kew Gardens together. Both initially seem to regret not being friends any longer.
