Frankenstein es un clásico atemporal y una obra pionera de la literatura gótica escrita por Mary Shelley. Publicada por primera vez en 1818 —una época en la que las mujeres que escribían ficción se encontraban con la resistencia de la sociedad—, esta novela se ha convertido desde entonces en parte fundamental de la historia de la literatura y de la ciencia ficción.La historia gira en torno a Victor Frankenstein, un joven científico brillante y ambicioso movido por un deseo insaciable de desvelar los secretos de la vida y la muerte. Su obsesión le lleva a construir un ser artificial mediante un osado y macabro experimento científico.La criatura a la que Victor da vida es un ser terrorífico pero sensible e inteligente. Lleno de remordimientos y horror ante la visión de su propia creación, Victor abandona a la criatura, intentando olvidar las consecuencias de sus actos. Sin embargo, su abandono pone en marcha una trágica cadena de acontecimientos que le perseguirán el resto de su vida.A lo largo de la novela, Shelley explora temas de gran profundidad, como los peligros de la ambición desmedida, la ética de los descubrimientos científicos, las consecuencias del rechazo humano y la esencia de la propia humanidad. El libro sigue cautivando al público y suscitando debates sobre las consideraciones éticas de los avances científicos, así como sobre la capacidad humana de empatía, aceptación y responsabilidad. 10
