Frankenstein
Frankenstein is a novel by Mary Shelley that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a hideous creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the novel was published when she was 21. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818, but this work has endured as a classic exploration of science, ethics, and human nature.
