This edition of Frankenstein is ideal for GCSE-level students, as it includes the novel itself, an introduction that provides context, and a glossary that explains important terms. It was already one in the morning when the rain pounded relentlessly against the windows, and my candle was nearly extinguished when, by the faint light of the nearly extinguished flame, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open. It breathed heavily and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist with enormous ambition, surpasses his own expectations when he successfully creates life from a collection of dead body parts. However, he fails to consider the consequences and responsibilities of his actions, with disastrous results. First published in 1818, this genre-defying novel is a blend of gothic tale, science fiction, and philosophical exploration that invites us to ponder whom we sympathize with: the scientist who plays God or the monstrous creature he has created.
