Frankenstein

Victor Frankenstein is driven by a single obsession: to create life. When he finally succeeds, he is so horrified by what he has made that he rejects it outright, abandoning the being to fend for itself with no guidance and no companionship. Shunned wherever it turns, the creature is left with a deep loneliness that hardens into a desire for revenge. Mary Shelley's classic tale of horror becomes something more than a monster story, a searching look at the human condition that leaves readers asking who the real monster is.
