Frankenstein Oder Der Moderne Prometheus

Frankenstein oder der moderne Prometheus

by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus erzählt die Geschichte des jungen Wissenschaftlers Victor Frankenstein, der ein menschliches Wesen aus Einzelteilen erschafft. Doch sein Schöpfungsakt wird zum Albtraum, als er die furchterregende und einsame Kreatur der Welt gegenüberstellt. Getrieben von Rache und dem Wunsch nach Anerkennung, sucht das Geschöpf nach seinem Schöpfer und verübt eine Reihe von Gräueltaten, die Frankenstein und seine Familie ins Unglück stürzen. Der Roman ist ein eindringliches Beispiel für den unheilvollen Einfluss von übermäßiger wissenschaftlicher Ambition und die ethischen Grenzen der menschlichen Forschung.
