When a crew of explorers rescue scientist Victor Frankenstein from the North Pole, the story he tells them shocks them to the core. Why is Victor out in the cold? Where has he come from? And who is the giant creature he searches for? As the story unfolds, we learn of a scientific experiment gone wrong and the creation of the hideous Monster.

Often cited as an early example of science fiction, Mary Shelley's classic work features elements of both the Gothic and the Romantic. It is a tale of science pushed to its limits, but left unchecked and unbalanced by morality and the laws of nature; themes that still resonate deeply today.

5 (Perfeito)

Perfeito apenas, amei o livro, tem uma escrita simples e poética ao mesmo tempo, com uma narrativa que prende muito facilmente o leitor.
A descrição dos sentimentos de ambos os personagens principais é perfeita, o remorso, a ira, a tristeza e a angústia de viver, o anseio pela morte como um lugar de paz, tudo muito bem representado, e com uma sensibilidade incrível.
