A level 3 Oxford Bookworms Library graded readers. Retold for Learners of English by Patrick Nobes. Victor Frankenstein thinks he has found the secret of life. He takes parts from dead people and builds a new ‘man’. But this monster is so big and frightening that everyone runs away from him – even Frankenstein himself! The monster is like an enormous baby who needs love. But nobody gives him love, and soon he learns to hate. And, because he is so strong, the next thing he learns is how to kill…

Дебютный роман английской писательницы Мэри Шелли «Франкенштейн, или Современный Прометей» (1818) по праву считается шедевром романтической готики, который стал отправной точкой научно-фантастической традиции в прозе. Ученый Виктор Франкенштейн, дрейфующий на льдине и подобранный экспедиционным судном, рассказывает свою страшную историю исследователю Уолтону. Постигший тайну зарождения жизни и научившийся оживлять безжизненную материю, Франкенштейн создает искусственного человека из частей трупов. Но уникальное изобретение оборачивается трагедией для ученого и окружающих. В книге представлен неадаптированный текст на языке оригинала, снабженный комментариями, словарем и заданиями.

Her partner Michael Maddison would back her up all the way to hell itself – and that just may be where this case ends up.Deucalion, Frankenstein’s original and flawed attempt at replicating life, has travelled for two centuries with a secret worse than death. When he returns to New Orleans, his path leads him to O’Connor. Together, they must destroy a monstrosity that even Dr Frankenstein could not imagine.
