{"product_id":"frankenstein-mary-shelley-9788196076986","title":"Frankenstein","description":"Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821. Though Frankenstein is infused with elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement, Brian Aldiss has argued for regarding it as the first true science-fiction story. In contrast to previous stories with fantastical elements resembling those of later science fiction, Aldiss states, the central character \"makes a deliberate decision\" and \"turns to modern experiments in the laboratory\" to achieve fantastic results. The novel has had a considerable influence on literature and on popular culture; it has spawned a complete genre of horror stories, films, and plays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Shelley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8196076983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788196076986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Avarang Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Mary Shelley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44129033683199,"sku":"9788196076986","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f9f95be6-d630-48ce-9233-d10529b6a5fd.jpg?v=1687461701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frankenstein-mary-shelley-9788196076986","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
