«Frankenstein» is the gothic novel by Mary W. Shelley published by Anaya Editorial in paperback (238 pages, in Spanish).
Victor Frankenstein gives life to a creature made from the remains of human bodies. Rejected by its creator and by society, the creature, innocent at first, lets itself be dragged into isolation and revenge. The work blends gothic horror, scientific ethics and moral responsibility; it is considered a precursor of science fiction.
The original work was published in 1818 under the title «Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus». This Spanish edition from 1989 belongs to Anaya's Tus Libros collection.
Because of its classification as children's and young adult reading, it is a gateway to the classics of horror and science fiction.
