Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus

“Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” is the novel that forever changed the course of gothic literature and modern storytelling. Written by Mary Shelley at just eighteen, it was born from a question that still haunts readers today: What happens when human ambition breaks the limits of creation? At the center of the story stands Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist driven by obsession, and the Creature he brings to life—an outcast struggling with loneliness, rejection, identity, and the desperate need to belong. This is not simply a tale of horror. It is a profound exploration of what it means to be human. This edition is perfect for listeners who want more than a classic: those who love psychological depth, those who seek a timeless story in a clear and accessible form, and those drawn to narratives that feel modern, intense, and emotionally rich. Shelley creates a world of ice, storms, deserted roads, and lightning-lit laboratories, but her true stage is the conflict between: creator vs. creation, responsibility vs. ambition, the desire to be loved vs. the fear of being seen for what we are. If you are looking for a novel that blends tension, atmosphere, philosophy, and human emotion, Frankenstein remains an unmatched masterpiece—a story that continues to resonate, provoke, and captivate every new generation.
