Synopsis Frankenstein; or, The modern Prometheus
Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus, widely known as Frankenstein, is a pioneering work, considered the originator of science fiction. Published in 1818 and set in the tradition of the Gothic novel, it explores contemporary themes such as the morality of science, eternal life, and mans relationship with God. Frankenstein is written in an epistolary format, which achieves great realism and closeness with the reader. The story is set in 18th century Europe, during a time of scientific fervor. The captain of a whaling ship writes to his sister Margaret about his adventures and his encounter with the ominous scientist Victor Frankenstein, who, in search of the secret of life and without measuring the consequences, creates a new being from parts of other dead human beings.
