A ship trapped in Arctic ice takes aboard a man half dead from exhaustion, pursuing something across the frozen sea. He agrees to tell the captain how he came to be there.
Victor Frankenstein was a student at Ingolstadt when he discovered the principle of life. He worked alone through the winter, assembling a body from the dissecting room and the slaughterhouse, and on a dreary night in November he saw the dull yellow eye open. Then he fled from his own creation in horror and left it to find its way in the world.
The creature learns to speak by watching a family through a chink in a wall. It reads Paradise Lost and understands what it has been denied. When it finally confronts its maker, it asks for one thing only: a companion. Frankenstein refuses, and the creature promises to be with him on his wedding night.
Written by a nineteen-year-old on the shore of Lake Geneva, the novel remains the founding work of science fiction and one of literature's great arguments about what a creator owes the thing he has made.
