If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear!The idea of a reanimated corpse was famously conceived by an 18 year old Mary Shelley on holiday with her future husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron near Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The three were tasked with writing a ghost story, which resulted in one of the most famous novels to come from the 19th century. Presented here by Readers Library Classics is a striking hardcover of the mainstream edition (1831) of Frankenstein.Young scientist Victor Frankenstein, griefstricken over the death of his mother, sets out in a series of laboratory experiments testing the ability to create life from nonliving matter.
