A new series of classics for fans of "Highway. The main trend" in hardcover. Impeccable style, conciseness, tactile materials, colored flyleafs, edged pattern. This is a frightening and dark story about a brilliant scientist and his terrible creation. Victor Frankenstein comprehended the mystery of the origin of life and learned how to revive lifeless matter. He dreamed of defeating death and created a monster out of corpse parts. However, the pursuit of fame and recognition has led to horrifyingly tragic consequences. The idea and the first episodes of the novel "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus" (1818) arose as an improvisation on a given theme — a composition of scary stories initiated by Lord Byron at the Swiss villa Diodati in the summer of 1816, and the image of the monster created by the main character appeared to the author — eighteen-year-old Englishwoman Mary Shelley — in a nightmare. However, despite the young age of the aspiring writer and the almost accidental circumstances of the book's creation, "Frankenstein" was destined to become an event in national and world literature. A classic of science fiction prose, a masterpiece of romantic Gothic, an original philosophical novel, a source of iconic images of modern cultural mythology - these are not the full range of popular definitions of this impressive literary debut. The tragic plot, invented by the author, has given rise to many imitations, adaptations and sequels — in fiction, drama, theater and, of course, cinema. This edition has been commented on in detail. In November 2025, Guillermo del Toro's film "Frankenstein" will be released on the screen, and in 2026 we will have another premiere — the film "The Bride" by Maggie Gyllenhaal, a remake of the classic movie "Bride of Frankenstein" from 1935. Both films are based on the work of Mary Shelley.
