{"product_id":"9780143131847","title":"Frankenstein","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a classic work of fiction presented in its original 1818 text, offering a bold meditation on creation, responsibility, and the consequences of unchecked curiosity. The central questions probe what it means to seek knowledge, who bears the cost, and how society responds to the products of scientific ambition. The tone is thought-provoking, morally charged, and quietly daring, with a voice that remains vividly relevant to readers today.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis edition preserves the original language while pairing the text with scholarly context. It features a new introduction by National Book Critics Circle award-winner Charlotte Gordon, along with suggestions for further reading, literary excerpts, and reviews selected by Gordon. A chronology and an essay by Shelley scholar Charles E. Robinson anchor the work in its historical moment and literary conversation. The edition also foregrounds Shelley’s relationship with her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, highlighting a feminist lineage that informs the text’s enduring resonance and placing the work within a broader feminist legacy rather than as a lone statement in a male-dominated literary circle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reading experience blends a tightly woven narrative with reflective passages. You follow a driven scientist and his ill-fated creation through a journey of pursuit, consequence, and moral reckoning. The Gothic atmosphere and social critique are preserved, while the introduction and notes invite readers to engage with themes of responsibility, otherness, and the power of imagination from a modern perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal 1818 text kept intact with faithful presentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew introduction by Charlotte Gordon plus suggestions for further reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelected literary excerpts and reviews, plus a chronology and scholarly essay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForegrounding of Shelley’s feminist lineage and Mary Wollstonecraft’s influence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePenguin Classics edition with authoritative notes and accessible context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngaging prose that invites reflection on ethics, science, and responsibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders finish with a deeper understanding of classic literature’s enduring questions and a heightened appreciation for nuanced storytelling.
