Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus

One of the main Gothic novels of world literature, a fundamental text of science fiction that has made millions of readers reflect on matters beyond earthly human life. Young doctor Victor Frankenstein, fascinated since childhood by the works of Paracelsus,... conducts experiments on resurrection. Obsessed with the desire to surpass nature itself, to make man invulnerable to disease and death, he faces failure after failure, until one dismal November night, the creature on his table, assembled from dead matter, opens its eyes. In a moment of triumph, the genius alchemist cannot even imagine that he is on the brink of not universal fame, but a terrible catastrophe that is about to unfold — and destroy the lives of his loved ones, as well as his own.
