Almost 200 years have passed since Mary Shelley published her most famous book, Frankenstein. Her debut novel has since become a classic of world literature and has lost none of its relevance. In the novel, Victor Frankenstein must face up to his responsibility for the creature he has created, and even more so in the 21st century, where human research is venturing into areas that are morally dubious and entail incalculable global risks. This issue makes the novel a popular choice for English lessons. This edition offers the unabridged text of the version revised by the author in 1831.
