Creation, ambition, and the cost of crossing boundaries

Framed by an Arctic rescue, Mary Shelley’s novel unfolds through the account of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist whose attempt to create life leaves his creation isolated from the world. The publisher description points to ambition, moral boundaries, murder, and revenge as central threads, with the creator’s act setting a tragic course. This edition is described as complete and unabridged, with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark; its presentation places the classic in a collector-oriented hardcover format.

Book overview

A beautiful deluxe gift edition of Mary Shelley's gothic masterpiece with foiled covers, marbled endpapers, sprayed edges, and a silk ribbon bookmark.

What you create can destroy you...

While navigating the Arctic, the captain of a ship rescues a man wandering near death across the ice caps. How the man got there reveals itself in a story of ambition, murder, and revenge. As a young scientist, Victor Frankenstein pushed moral boundaries in order to cross the final frontier and create life. But his creation is a monster stitched together from grave-plundered body parts who has no place in the world, and his existence can only lead to tragedy.

This hardback is part of DK CLASSICS, a luxurious series of classic titles, thoughtfully crafted for collectors and fans of beautiful special editions.
