Frankenstein
Victor Frankenstein brings a living being into the world and abandons him. Mary Shelley follows both creator and creature as their choices turn an experiment into a tragedy.
From the English edition
You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure my dear sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking.
