Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley 1 hr 16 min read

Rejected and alone, Victor Frankenstein's creature learns to speak and feel, and, denied all love, turns from sorrow toward vengeance.

This is Volume 2 of a French edition of Mary Shelley's 1818 'Frankenstein,' containing the creature's own heartbreaking narrative at the novel's core. Profound, moving, philosophically rich. Read it for the heart of the greatest Gothic tragedy, where the monster becomes the most human voice of all, in French.
