Publisher's Summary
This immortal horror story, which has implications for modern science
and genetic engineering, has captured the imagination of countless generations.
Commuters Library presents Frankenstein read by Shakespearean actor
Ralph Cosham.
From Goodreads:
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen.
At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale
about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed
science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause
of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter,
Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon
bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness.
Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns
to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator,
Frankenstein.
Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both
the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story,
but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature
of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean
to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far
can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of
organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions
are more relevant than ever.
