Length8h 9m
About this audiobook
A young scientist from Geneva, obsessed with the mystery of life and death, succeeds in the most daring feat ever attempted by a human being: bringing to life a creature assembled from the remains of the dead. But the very moment his experiment comes to life, Victor Frankenstein is overcome with horror at what he has created, and flees, abandoning his creature to its fate.
Rejected by everyone, condemned to loneliness and the world’s hatred, the creature teaches itself language, emotions, the desire to be loved — and the rage of being constantly rejected instead. When its creator refuses to give it what it asks for, the creature’s vengeance will be unleashed upon everything Victor holds dear, in a spiral of horror, guilt and despair that will drag them both to the icy reaches of the North Pole.
Published in 1818, when the author was just twenty years old, *Frankenstein* is the forerunner of modern science fiction and one of the most influential Gothic novels ever written. A timeless story of creation and responsibility, loneliness and monstrosity — and of the question we still ask ourselves today: what truly makes a monster?
