Features: This novel was published in 1818. Science fiction master Isaac Asimov called it the world's first science fiction novel. It carries profound thoughts and has a far-reaching influence across many fields, including philosophy, science, literature, and film. To this day, the themes reflected in this novel remain timeless. The book tells the story of an artificial life. Frankenstein is a scientist who creates a monster through experiments. The monster is inherently kind and willing to help, but due to his grotesque appearance, he is not accepted by human society. No one is willing to accept his kindness, and everyone rejects and drives him away. He longs for love and happiness, but what he receives are promises and pursuit. He asks the scientist to create another like him, but is refused. His life is filled with more sorrow than happiness. He recklessly takes revenge on humanity and, in the end, meets his demise alongside his creator.
