Book summary
Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist, succeeds in creating life from dead matter, but immediately rejects his creature, horrified by its appearance. Left to itself, the being develops consciousness and emotions, but faces rejection and solitude. Its search for acceptance gradually turns into a desire for revenge against its creator. Through this tragic relationship, the story questions scientific responsibility, the limits of progress, and the nature of humanity. The author delivers a dark and gripping work about creation, abandonment, and the unpredictable consequences of ambition.
