Frankenstein

Frankenstein

Per Illum

Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.

Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

This edition has been abridged and simplified to provide gratuated reading exercises for students of English. Vocabulary and sentence structures have been selected because of their high frequency and practical value to the learner.
Words which are difficult to understand in context or fall out of the EASY READER frequency modules are explained by footnotes in simple English or by illustrations. EASY READERS are suitable for use in schools, for home study, or simply for reading enjoyment. See the complete list of titles on the inside cover. EASY READERS are also available in German, French, Spanish, Italian and Russian.
