Frankenstein with silver foil embossing and gilded page edges.

of the Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelly, it tells the story of
scientist Victor Frankenstein and the catastrophic consequences of his
attempts to create a perfect new being by activating a group of body
parts with an electrical charge. The hideous monster that is born of
Frankenstein's experiment wreaks havoc when it realises that it will
never know the happiness that mere mortals can enjoy.

includes more of Victor's motivations and thoughts for creating life.
