An immortal tale about the dangers of excessive ambition and the essence of being human The
ambitious young scientist Victor Frankenstein is obsessed with unlocking the secret to creating
life. One fateful night he achieves the unthinkable: he brings to life a creature of his own
making. Horrified by the ugliness of his creation though he abandons this sensitive being
who desperately longs for love and acceptance. Rejected by the world and driven by a thirst for
revenge the creature ultimately turns against his creator - and everything he holds dear. Amid
the majestic landscapes of the Swiss Alps a bitter pursuit unfolds that leads to the icy
reaches of the North Pole and into the darkest corners of the human soul. Mary Shelley's
timeless masterpiece is much more than just Gothic horror: it is a profound reflection on the
dangers of boundless ambition and on the existential need for belonging and love.
