Frankenstein (Tomás Hijo)

Victor Frankenstein, a student of chemistry and natural philosophy, secretly constructs a human-like creature from the remains of corpses. Drawing upon both modern science and ancient knowledge, he brings his obsession to fruition and breathes life into his creation. The moment the monstrosity opens its eyes, Victor realizes his feat will be his curse: abandoned and alone, the monster will hound its creator in search of the meaning of its existence, sparking a terrible conflict that drags them both to the frozen ends of the earth. Mary W. Shelley conceived the idea for Frankenstein in 1816 under circumstances almost as legendary as the novel itself. This edition features forty illustrations by Tomás Hijo, offering a fresh perspective while remaining deeply faithful to a classic that blends Gothic horror, philosophical reflection, and adventure—and stands as a foundational pillar of the science fiction genre.
