- Possessed by obsession, the mad scientist Victor Frankenstein robs graves in search of material to create new life. However, the creature he manages to resurrect does not meet his expectations. Rejected by Frankenstein and deprived of human companionship, it decides to destroy its creator and everything dear to him. This blood-chilling gothic novel, written when Mary Shelley was only nineteen years old, became the precursor of a new genre. It gained the status of a perfect study of the limits of human creativity and destruction, as well as one of the most famous horrors in the world.

Wow, that was a stunning reading, read just the right degree of detachment. I can’t believe this incredible story has been so distorted by T.V and Film adaptations. It’s better and way more powerful than any interpretation I have seen.
It's a pity the Universal adaptation (a fine movie in its own right) tainted the perception of the story beyond repair.
Finally I've found the 1818 version, there is only the 1831 on audible. Thank you very much for this. Lovely voice!
what's the difference?
@@milkman4743a lot of the wording is changed and skipped
The same reason I'm here. Every audiobook on my paid app where the 1831 version.
@@rikkebay8548 How much does it affect the storry?
@@G_BOY364 Uh I have a hard time remembering now. I remember some of it had to do with Frankenstein's fiance. But the main reason it annoyed me was I was reading and listening at the same time and there were added new sentences to elaborate, which disturbed my reading. People nowadays say the original is the one to read from what I gathered on the internet.
Thank you genuinly, the audiobooks that you share for free on your channel are of the highest quality. This helped me greatly because I have some trouble with focusing while I read, and this is the perfect solution.
I'm the opposite of you. I struggle with audiobooks. But this was excellent! If not for Real Life having to be dealt with, I would've sat here and listened to the whole thing straight through!
It is sad how modern renditions twist the story so much that it is unrecognizable.
Arthur, you are a masterful narrator! Thank you so much for reading this long novel!
The literary sophistication and depth of expression are truly amazing.
Shelley was a great poet.
I am just finding this today! I am reading the book for the very first time and am enjoying it so far. I wanted to see if there was an audiobook to go along with it. It helps me to both read it and hear it. I'm only about 30 minutes into this, but it's fantastic! Thank you.
Why all these comments whether she wrote it or not? She did write it. Sometimes you get one good inspiration as an author or creative and that’s it.
It's just misogyny. They hate that Mary seems to have bigger perceived impact on modern culture than Percy even though he himself is already respected in his field.
@@dotkiarika1026 its not misogyny, thats a really low IQ take. Its literally just modern contearianism where they see one person say look see maybe she didnt and they start frothing at the mouth because they get to carry the same energy as "um actually Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster." Its intellectual superiority, not gender. You wanna apply misogyny to it because you lack fundamental understanding of modern men and it makes you feel smart and superior, try to deny it all you want but.. You're fighting boogeymen thus doing the exact same thing as the "misogynist" people you decided to wage social war against
You and your kind have entirely devalued the word misogyny so much that real misogyny is ignored to focus on tiny issues that you willy nilly apply a label to
Congrats, you contributed to misogyny
Miserable little people living miserable little lives. They will never achieve 0.01% of this author's success and it's more comforting to pretend like this isn't a thing because it means they don't have miserable little confrontations about their own lives 😊
I am greatful I found your site. Thank you for your superb reading.
grateful
I could listen to your voice all day. I've just finished the dracula audiobook and dracula's guest with you guys, I can't wait to hear them all :D
Finished :)
Impeccable narration, thank you.
Thank you so much for uploading
Thank you. Excellent ❤
Well Readied thank you Arthur Lane
Thank you, thank you very very much.
Wow thank you.
Quite eerie listening to an AI voice narrate a story about the hubris of man in his creation of artificial life…
Thanks so much
Thank you
Yesssss, I wanted this one. Thank you!
Any1 else think Viktors a bit of an asshole! Great reading, thanks :D
Thanks!
Thank you very much ♥️
You're welcome. I don't usually do audiobooks. But this has been a wonderful companion to having just read the book for the very first time. I have about 2 hours left to go.@@gatesofimagination
that was wild omfg
Is it just me or are the chapters wrong
Walter is excited to learn from Professor Waldman. Attends his lectures
Walter is excited to learn from Professor Waldman. Attends his lectures. Initially, Walter learned a branch of science purely because of his attraction to Waldman’s teaching style. Eventually, Walter finds genuine charm in the study and purses it along with others. Two years later, he becomes as well versed as the university’s professors in science. Walter improves chemical instruments.
Having learned everything, Walter decided to return home to live among his friends but before he leaves he is suddenly intrigued by human anatomy their remains. Begins visiting charnel houses (houses human skeletal remains).
Sudden discovery of what makes humans living and fascinated with bringing dead matter back alive.
I've been thinking of reading some Poe aloud and posting it. Has that been already too "done"?
Poe is a widely recorded author. The competition is high. On the other hand, all of his works are in the Public Domain, so you can always give it a try.
@@gatesofimagination I wonder then, is there an author that is seldom read that I could take on? I am a lady and have a southern accent. I've been told I have a good voice.
We conducted research in this matter, and believe me, if we were to find a popular author in the Public Domain who hasn't been recorded yet, we would do it ourselves. It seems that a better approach is to record what one personally enjoys 😉
Not done enough!

Amazingly written...for someone so young.
I agree - PBS wrote it.
Bruh i know young people 30x smarter than any boomer cut that shit out. You've never made anything you dont have the perspective to make that apathetic backhanded compliment
Absolutely

This is abridged and a bit confusing - it jumps around A LOT.
This is not an abridged version but the first edition of Frankenstein from 1818. There is another version of this novel, revised by Shelley and reissued in 1831, containing many changes and considered by some readers to be more comprehensible, while others view it as a censored version. This is likely the source of confusion.

Read the book and you soon begin to realize that the 1931 movie completely sucked that had no vision that Mary Shelly had back when she was only 19 years when she wrote the book.
She was 17!

A masterpiece, both in content and writing style. Mary Shelley never wrote like this before or since, leading many to speculate that she didn't actually write Frankenstein by herself.
Yes, it's difficult to believe. I suppose We'll never know for sure.
She most likely had help, it does feel like a teenager wrote it.
I guess Percy really loved her 😉
She wrote the boring bits.
@@virgogaming6488Mary Shelley was the sole author of Frankenstein, as a mountain of scholarship attests.
not gonna lie, this felt like a Wattpad fanfiction.
