NOTES

Read by Michael Noricum

Unleash the timeless story of ambition, responsibility, and consequences with Mary Shelley's groundbreaking masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, driven by a thirst for knowledge and the ambition to create life, discovers a way to animate a patchwork of human remains. His creation, however, is not the beautiful life he envisioned. Instead, it is a grotesque creature that Frankenstein instantly rejects. Abandoned by his creator and shunned by the world, the monster embarks on a quest for acceptance and understanding. His journey is fraught with isolation and tragedy, leading him back to his creator, demanding recompense for his lonely existence. What follows is a gripping saga of horror, empathy, and revenge that delves deep into the ethical boundaries of scientific discovery and the responsibilities therein. Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" is a profound exploration of the human condition and the dangers of unchecked ambition. Written during the infancy of the Industrial Age, this novel is as relevant today as it was two centuries ago, challenging the readers to ponder the moral implications of scientific advancement. Ideal for lovers of classic literature, gothic horror, and philosophical reflection, "Frankenstein" offers an unforgettable journey through the depths of human emotion and the stark consequences of playing God. Experience the haunting beauty and tragedy of this timeless novel that continues to challenge and captivate readers around the world
