Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus (Audiobook)

# Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus (Audiobook) By Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley A groundbreaking Gothic masterpiece about scientific ambition, the consequences of creation, and the search for humanity. Enter the haunting world of "Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus", Mary Shelley's revolutionary 1818 novel that helped shape modern science fiction and Gothic horror. Driven by an obsessive desire to unlock the secrets of life, brilliant young scientist Victor Frankenstein undertakes a daring experiment that challenges the boundaries of nature. But when his creation awakens, Victor recoils from what he has brought into existence, setting in motion a tragic chain of events involving isolation, rejection, revenge, and devastating loss. As creator and creation struggle with their identities and responsibilities, Shelley explores questions that remain remarkably relevant more than two centuries later: * What happens when scientific ambition exceeds moral responsibility? * Are monsters born evil, or shaped by cruelty and rejection? * Does a creator bear responsibility for the life they bring into existence? * What separates humanity from monstrosity? * Can knowledge become dangerous when pursued without compassion?
