      "Famosa, escrita en un desafío por el famoso amigo del autor, el poeta Lord Byron, esta novela de terror gótica es una de las historias más inquietantes de todos los tiempos. Recuenta los trágicos eventos en la vida del joven doctor Frankenstein y las terribles consecuencias de su intento de crear vida artificial. Más de 100 años después de su publicación, sigue siendo una brillante y esencial reflexión sobre la ética cientí́fica, así como una obra maestra literaria." --
