Frankenstein

The narrative follows Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist obsessed with creating life, leading to the birth of a grotesque creature through unconventional experimentation. Written by Mary Shelley when she was just 18, the novel explores themes of ambition, responsibility, and the consequences of playing god. Initially published anonymously in 1818, it was later attributed to Shelley in its 1823 edition, marking a significant moment in literary history as one of the earliest works of science fiction.
