Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821.
Relectura del clásico de la literatura de género. No recordaba tanta descripción y sigue sorprendiéndome como el relato original defiere tanto de la mayor parte de adaptaciones.
Beautifully written, Frankenstein opens very well. Towards the latter half the plot turns into Victor being sad and everything happens just as you'd expect it to, which lost my interest a little.
