DETAILS: Mary Shelley's chilling account of one man 's overreaching ambition was a bestseller when it first appeared in 1818. Ever since then her story of Victor Frankenstein, 'The Modern Promethius', and the terrible consequences of his attempt to use science to play God has exerted an extraordinary grip on the popular imagination. As we move into the twenty-first century the questions it asks about life and death, the nature of science and the role of the scientist in society have never been more important.
But it is also a story full of horror, excitement and, in the creation of the creature, one of the most tragically lonely, sympathetic characters in fiction. A tie-in to the Kenneth Brannagh movie of 1994. - Pan Books 1994
