The Brief description of the novel is as follows:- Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is a novel written by English author Mary Shelley (1797-1851) that tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a hideous sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition published in Paris in 1821. Shelley traveled through Europe in 1815 along the river Rhine in Germany stopping in Gernsheim, 17 kilometers (11 mi) away from Frankenstein Castle, where two centuries before, an alchemist engaged in experiments. She then journeyed to the region of Geneva, Switzerland, where much of the story takes place. The topic of galvanism and occult ideas were themes of conversation among her companions, particularly her lover and future husband Percy B. Shelley. Mary, Percy and Lord Byron had a competition to see who could write the best horror story. After thinking for days, Shelley dreamt about a scientist who created life and was horrified by what he had made, inspiring the novel. Though Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, Brian Aldiss has argued that it should be considered the first true science fiction story. In contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, Aldiss states the central character "makes a deliberate decision" and "turns to modern experiments in the laboratory" to achieve fantastic results. It has had a considerable influence in literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays. Since the publication of the novel, the name "Frankenstein" has often been used to refer to the monster itself. In the novel, Frankenstein's creation is identified by words such as "creature", "monster", "daemon", "wretch", "abortion", "fiend" and "it". Speaking to Victor Frankenstein, the monster says "I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel" (which ties to Lucifer in Paradise Lost, which the monster reads, and which relates to the disobedience of Prometheus in the book's subtitle). In Shelley's Gothic story, Victor Frankenstein builds the creature in his laboratory through an ambiguous method consisting of chemistry and alchemy. Shelley describes the monster as 8-foot-tall (2.4 m) and hideously ugly, but sensitive and emotional. The monster attempts to fit into human society but is shunned, which leads him to seek revenge against Frankenstein. According to the scholar Joseph Carroll, the monster occupies "a border territory between the characteristics that typically define protagonists and antagonists". Frankenstein's monster became iconic in popular culture and has been featured in various forms of media, including films, television series, merchandise, and video games. His most iconic version is his portrayal by Boris Karloff in the 1931 film Frankenstein.

"The Modern Prometheus"
Einer meiner Lieblingsklassiker. Mary Shelley wirft Fragen über Moral, Leben, Tod und Veranlagung vs. Erziehung auf. Wer dieses Buch liest, wird noch lange darüber nachdenken. Die Geschichte von Victor Frankenstein und seiner Kreatur ist wahrscheinlich den Meisten schon durch die Verfilmungen bekannt, doch ich kann Jedem nur ans Herz legen, das Buch zu lesen. Wer ist am Ende wirklich das Monster? Frankenstein oder die Kreatur? Beide? Keiner von Beiden? Ein zeitloser Klassiker, der noch heute wichtige Themen behandelt. -

My favourite classic
I made it my mission to read or re-read more classics. Frankenstein is definitly still my favourite. The story basically is just Victor not wanting to take responsibility for the problems he caused. And the creature basically turning "dark" because a certain someone didn't want anything to do with "it". Beautiful prose, characters that are fundamentally flawed and a gloomy setting, Frankenstein has ist all. -

Schaurig schöner Klassiker
Weder staubtrocken, noch aus der Zeit gefallen oder schwierig zu lesen oder zu verstehen. Frankenstein von Mary Shelley ist wahrlich zeitlos. Sicher, sollte man die Charaktereigenschaften von Viktor Frankenstein nicht als bloße Marotten abtun oder den jugendlichen Leichtsinn eines Mannes aus guten Verhältnissen. Viel mehr ist der Text aus heutiger Sicht spannend, da er psychologisch in die Fehlbarkeit von Meister und Monster eintaucht und Schwächen beider Figuren aufdeckt. Ist Frankenenstein ein Incel? Ist das Monster ein Philosph? Was mich vor allem seit jeher an der Geschichte begeistert, ist die Erzählart. Auf mehreren Erzählebenen berichten die unterschiedlichsten Figuren von ihren Abenteuern mit Frankenstein und der Kreatur. Ein Abenteuerroman, ein schauriger Horrortext, ein Klassiker, den man unbedingt gelesen haben sollte. Und wer gar nicht genug von dem Thema kriegt, für den hab ich an dieser Stelle noch ein paar weitere Lektüretipps: "Botanical Daughter", "Frankissstein", "W1ll1am", The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankensetiin" und "What moves the Dead". -

Shelley ist ein Profi ihres Genres
"And why must I describe a sorrow which all have felt, and must feel?" Nachdem ich dieses Buch gelesen habe, habe ich gelesen das Frankeinstein über die Erfahrung ist eine Frau zu sein. Das ist ein schöner und akkurater aber dennoch grusiliger Gedanke. Frankenstein beschäftigt sich mich Philosophischen Themen, nicht umsonst ist dies ein Klassiker. Die Ethik der Wissenschaft, ob wir überhaupt Gott spielen dürfen, was es für Konsequenzen trägt. Die gesellschaftliche Empathy, oder das Fehlen dieser. Shelley spiegelt Rousseau wieder, dass Menschheit mit ihrer Korruption, Hass und Ablehnung ein unschuldiges Wesen zerstört. Außerdem ist die Frage "Wer ist das echte Monster?" nicht einfachso populär, auch wenn es im Buch deutlich ist, wer das echte Monster ist. Diese Frage spiegelt wieder wie die Gesellschaft "Monster" definiert. Phänomenales Buch.
