"인간이란 무엇인가"를 묻는 공포소설, 과학소설의 고전. 조물주의 영역에 도전해 인간을 창조한 과학자와 그에 의해 탄생된 괴물이 보여주는 고통, 배반, 소외, 복수의 드라마는 오늘날까지 의미심장한 명제-생명의 영역에 도전하는 과학기술-을 생생하게-때론 소름끼치게 전달하고 있다. Obsessed by creating life itself, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life by electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. Mary Shelley's chilling gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley near Byron's villa on Lake Geneva. It would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.
