Om den här boken

Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 Gothic novel, written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature from different body parts in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Victor Frankenstein, born in Naples to an upper-class Genevese family, spends his youth obsessed with alchemy. As he grows older, he develops an interest in modern sciences such as chemistry and electricity. After his mother Caroline dies of scarlet fever, Victor leaves home to attend the University of Ingolstadt. Through his studies, Victor discovers a new way to create life, assembling human body parts stolen from charnel houses and fresh graves, which he uses to create a large and grotesque humanoid creature. When the creature awakens, Victor is repelled by it and flees in terror, returning the next day to find the creature gone.

Bra bok, otroligt skildring av verkligheten! Rekommenderar skippa första 10 kapitlen och sista 4, sporadiskt läsa med 2:2:3- metoden🤔 går också att bara läsa första och sista sidan i varje kapitel, om man känner för de, annars sjukt bra skådespelare!
