Kaum ein Roman der Weltliteratur hat eine ähnlich anregende, fruchtbare kultur- und geistesgeschichtliche Wirkung gehabt und war gleichzeitig so vielen Deutungen und Missdeutungen ausgesetzt wie dieser. Ohne Don Quijote, dessen weltliterarische Bedeutung außerhalb Spaniens erst im 18. Jahrhundert voll erkannt wurde, ist der neue europäische Roman nicht denkbar.
Mary Shelley’s haunting adventure about ambition and modernity run amok. 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. This chilling gothic tale, begun when Mary Shelley was just nineteen years old, would become the world’s most famous work of horror fiction and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity.
