¿Ya viste la película de Guillermo del Toro? Ahora descubre la obra original en esta edición. Obsesionado con traspasar los límites de la ciencia, el inquieto y entusiasta científico Victor Frankenstein logra dar forma y vida a un ser construido a partir de restos humanos. Sin embargo, su hazaña se convierte de inmediato en horror: incapaz de soportar su fealdad antinatural, rechaza y destierra a su creación... El ente aprende a hablar, leer y comprender el mundo, pero también a sentir el peso del abandono. Su soledad se transforma en rabia y decide ir tras su creador en busca de compañía o, quizá, venganza... En Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo, Mary Shelley concibió una historia aterradora y maravillosa. Desde su publicación asombró al mundo y en pocos años adquirió la categoría de «mito moderno». Entre la novela gótica y el relato filosófico, la historia del soberbio científico y su monstruosa creación ha apasionado a generaciones enteras.
