Frankenstein by Shelley, Mary - 1981

Used, Very Good condition,

The story of Victor Frankenstein and of the monstrous creature he created has held the reading public spellbound since its publication almost a century and a half ago. On the surface it is a novel of tense and steadily mounting horror; but on a more profound level, it offers searching illumination o the human condition in its portrayal of a scientist who oversteps the bounds of conscience, and of a monster brought to life in an alien world, ever more desperately attempting to escape the torture of his solitude.
