Shelley's masterpiece delves into themes of ethics, identity, and the consequences of playing god. A gripping Gothic novel that continues to resonate, "Frankenstein" is a cautionary tale that explores the boundaries of science and the depths of the human soul. ABOUT THE AUTHORMary Shelley (1797-1851) was a brilliant and pioneering British writer, best known for her groundbreaking novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus." Born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, she emerged as a literary prodigy, fusing Gothic horror with thought-provoking themes of science, ethics, and the human condition. Her iconic creation, the tormented scientist Victor Frankenstein and his monstrous creation, has become a timeless symbol of the consequences of unchecked ambition and the essence of humanity. As the daughter of esteemed intellectuals Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin, Shelley was destined for literary greatness. Her tumultuous life, marked by personal loss and intense creativity, profoundly influenced her literary works. A true trailblazer in a male-dominated era, she defied convention and carved a path for female writers, leaving an indelible mark on literature and inspiring generations of authors to come. Mary Shelley's legacy endures as a testament to the power of the imagination and the enduring fascination with the dark corners of the human psyche.

Frankenstein - or, The Modern Prometheus

The Gothic Trilogy : Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (unabridged versions) in one volume ! Three Classic Gothic Novels in One Book only ! 1) Dracula, 2) Frankenstein, 3) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde --all three classics complete and unabridged versions by Bram Stoker, Mary Shelley and Robert Louis Stevenson. 

1) Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. It introduced the character of Count Dracula, and established many conventions of subsequent vampire fantasy. The novel tells the story of Dracula's attempt to move from Transylvania to England so that he may find new blood and spread the undead curse, and of the battle between Dracula and a small group of men and a woman led by Professor Abraham Van Helsing. Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel, and invasion literature. The novel has spawned numerous theatrical, film, and television interpretations.

2) Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797-1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a hideous, sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. At the same time, it is an early example of science fiction. Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story because, in contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. It has had a considerable influence in literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films and plays.

3) Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a gothic novella by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, first published in 1886. The work is also known as The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, or simply Jekyll & Hyde. It is about a London legal practitioner named Gabriel John Utterson who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr Henry Jekyll, and the evil Edward Hyde. The novella's impact is such that it has become a part of the language, with the phrase "Jekyll and Hyde" entering the vernacular to refer to people with an unpredictably dual nature: usually very good, but sometimes shockingly evil.

Frankenstein

Passionné par les sciences occultes, Victor Frankenstein est persuadé qu'il peut donner la vie. Dans la solitude de son laboratoire, un soir d'orage, son rêve devient réalité... et tourne au cauchemar. Il vient de créer un être monstrueux. Victor fuit, épouvanté. Mais il est trop tard : la créature, rejetée de tous, prépare déjà sa vengeance. "La foudre frappa. Ma bougie vacilla, lorsque tout à coup, ou milieu de cette lumière hésitante, je vis s'ouvrir l'oeil jaune et stupide de ma créature. Elle se mit à respirer profondément et des mouvements compulsifs agitèrent ses membres".

July 16, 1833.--This is a memorable anniversary for me; on it I complete my three hundred and twenty-third year!

The Wandering Jew?--certainly not. More than eighteen centuries have passed over his head. In comparison with him, I am a very young Immortal.

Am I, then, immortal? This is a question which I have asked myself, by day and night, for now three hundred and three years, and yet cannot answer it. I detected a grey hair amidst my brown locks this very day--that surely signifies decay. Yet it may have remained concealed there for three hundred years--for some persons have become entirely white-headed before twenty years of age.

I will tell my story, and my reader shall judge for me. I will tell my story, and so contrive to pass some few hours of a long eternity, become so wearisome to me. For ever! Can it be? to live for ever! I have heard of enchantments, in which the victims were plunged into a deep sleep, to wake, after a hundred years, as fresh as ever: I have heard of the Seven Sleepers--thus to be immortal would not be so burthensome: but, oh! the weight of never-ending time--the tedious passage of the still-succeeding hours! How happy was the fabled Nourjahad!--But to my task.
