Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a groundbreaking novel by British author Mary Shelley, penned when she was just 18 years old. First published anonymously in London in 1818, this audiobook is based on that original text. Shelleys name finally graced the revised third edition released in 1831. The title refers to Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who discovers the secret to creating life and brings to existence a powerful being resembling a man, yet larger and fearsome. In popular culture, the Creature is often mistakenly called Frankenstein, a confusion that has persisted since the iconic 1931 film. This novel intertwines elements of the Gothic genre and the Romantic movement, serving as a cautionary tale about humanitys hubris during the Industrial Revolution, as suggested by its subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. Its themes resonate deeply, influencing countless works in literature and film and establishing it as a foundational piece of science fiction. The questions it raises about creation and responsibility remain strikingly relevant today. (Summary from Wikipedia.org, adapted by Cori Samuel.)
