# Frankenstein, ou le Prométhée moderne Volume 1 (of 3)

By Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.

"Frankenstein, ou le Prométhée moderne Volume 1 (of 3)" by Mary Shelley is a novel published in 1818. A young Swiss scientist creates a living being assembled from dead body parts, then abandons his hideous creation in horror. The intelligent creature, rejected and persecuted, seeks revenge against his maker and society. Told through nested narratives within an Arctic exploration frame, this pioneering work of gothic fiction and early science-fiction explores themes of creation, abandonment, and vengeance through the intertwined stories of creator and creation.
