Produktinformationen zu „Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus (ePub)“
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's iconic novel, 'Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus,' explores themes of ambition, creation, and the consequences of playing god. Written in a Gothic literary style, Shelley's work is considered one of the earliest examples of science fiction and has had a lasting impact on popular culture. Through the narrative of scientist Victor Frankenstein and his monstrous creation, Shelley delves into the complexities of human nature and the ethical dilemmas of scientific experimentation. The novel's ominous atmosphere and introspective storytelling make it a captivating and thought-provoking read for readers interested in the intersections of science, morality, and identity in the Romantic era. Mary Shelley, inspired by a challenge to write a ghost story by Lord Byron, crafted 'Frankenstein' as a cautionary tale against the dangers of unchecked scientific progress. Drawing on her own experiences and the intellectual climate of her time, Shelley imbued her novel with philosophical depth and emotional resonance, creating a work that continues to resonate with readers over two centuries later. Her unique perspective as a female writer in a male-dominated literary world adds an additional layer of complexity to the novel's exploration of power and responsibility. I highly recommend 'Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus' to those seeking a classic tale that transcends genres and explores timeless themes with nuance and depth. Shelley's masterpiece remains a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of science, morality, and human nature in literature.
