Why listen to Frankenstein

This novel is recognized as the first work of science fiction. The main character in the story is a young scientist named Frankenstein. In an obsessive project to create life, he frequents mortuaries, tombs, and slaughterhouses. From the parts of various corpses, he pieces together an eight-foot-tall monster and brings it to life. But, when the monster is animated, Frankenstein is frightened by its hideous face, and he flees. An ominous day of fear and trepidation is quickly followed by a series of appalling events. The reek of death hangs on every page of the book.

Author : Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Mary Shelley was a famous English novelist, the second wife of the romantic poet Percy Shelley. Shelley was born into a literary family. Her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, was a champion of human rights and an unflinching feminist. Mary Shelley’s father, William Godwin, was a political anarchist and philosopher. For writing Frankenstein, Shelley is known as the “mother of science fiction.” Originally published in 1818, the novel is the first literary work of science fiction.
