Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Frankenstein—or, The Modern Prometheus—is considered to be one of the earliest examples of science fiction. Written by Mary Shelley, it tells the story of scientist Victor Frankenstein and the catastrophic consequences of his attempts to create a perfect new being by activating a group of body parts with an electrical charge. The hideous monster that is born of Frankenstein's experiment wreaks havoc when it realises that it will never know the happiness that mere mortals can enjoy.

Frankenstein tells the haunting story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates life through forbidden experimentation—only to recoil from the being he brings into the world. As his creation seeks understanding, companionship, and purpose, Victor is forced to confront the devastating consequences of unchecked ambition. A powerful blend of gothic horror and philosophical inquiry, Frankenstein explores responsibility, isolation, humanity, and the dangers of playing god.

A Monster Story. A Moral Catastrophe. The Birth of Science Fiction. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein at eighteen years old during the strangest summer in recent memory — stranded on the shores of Lake Geneva with Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, during a year of unnatural cold and darkness caused by a volcanic eruption halfway around the world.

The result was the first science fiction novel ever written — and one of the most influential books in the English language.

Uno de los mejores relatos de terror de Mary Shelley, donde a través de una historia sin fisuras, pone en evidencia la exquisita sutileza de la autora. 3 – LA PRUEBA DE AMOR 1834.
