Book description
Imagine hearing Frankenstein exactly as Mary Shelley wrote it in 1818-raw, radical, and fiercely feminist. This isn't the watered-down version you might know. Penguin Classics' audiobook delivers the original text, unfiltered, with the political fire and razor-sharp wit Shelley poured onto the page. You'll feel the chill of her words as she challenges society's deepest prejudices, not just crafting a gothic tale but building a feminist manifesto.
Hear how she channels her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft-the pioneer of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman-into every line. This isn't about Shelley being "the wife of Percy Shelley" or sharing a room with Byron. It's her claiming her place in a legacy of radical women, demanding to be heard on her own terms. The audiobook makes this legacy visceral.
And the brilliance? It's all framed by award-winning scholar Charlotte Gordon. Her introduction isn't just academic-it's a key to unlocking Shelley's genius, revealing why this 1818 text matters now. You'll hear her voice in the narration, guiding you through Shelley's world with passion and clarity. Plus, the curated excerpts and scholarly insights from Charles E. Robinson add depth without slowing the pace-perfect for immersive listening.
This isn't just a classic. It's a revolution you can hear. The original 1818 text strips away centuries of distortion, letting Shelley's urgent questions about creation, responsibility, and what it means to be "other" echo with terrifying relevance today. When the Creature speaks, you'll hear not just a monster, but a mirror to our own fears.
Penguin Classics has given us the definitive version: authoritative, beautifully narrated, and deeply human. It's no wonder it was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read. This is the only way to experience Frankenstein as Shelley intended-raw, revolutionary, and heartbreakingly alive.
Don't just read history. Live it. Press play now, and let Mary Shelley's voice shake you awake. Your next great literary journey starts with one click.
