About this audiobook
"Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley is a thrilling and captivating novel that has mesmerised readers for over 200 years. The story follows the brilliant and ambitious scientist, Victor Frankenstein, as he creates a monstrous being using stolen body parts. But as the creature struggles to find acceptance and meaning in a hostile world, Victor is consumed by guilt and fear, realising too late the horrifying consequences of his actions. As the two engage in a battle of wills and wits, Shelley's vivid and evocative language paints a chilling picture of a world gone awry, where science and technology have unleashed dark and dangerous forces beyond our control. "Frankenstein" is a haunting tale of ambition, revenge, and the consequences of playing God, which continues to shock and captivate readers today.
This new audio edition is brought to life for 21st century listeners by narrator Jake Urry.
Mary Shelley
Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was born in 1797, the daughter of two of the leading radical writers of the age. Her mother died just days after her birth and she was educated at home by her father and encouraged in literary pursuits. She eloped with and subsequently married the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, but their life together was full of hardship. The couple were ruined by disapproving parents and Mary lost three of her four children. Although its subject matter was extremely dark, her first novel Frankenstein (1818) was an instant sensation. Subsequent works such as Mathilda (1819), Valperga (1823) and The Last Man (1826) were less successful but are now finally receiving the critical acclaim that they deserve.
