Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus

Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus is the classic Gothic horror masterpiece by Mary Shelley, presented in a spectacular illustrated edition by Folioscopio Editorial. This Spanish hardcover edition, released on 12 November 2025, brings Shelley’s foundational tale of science, ambition, and human consequence to life with original illustrations and seven extraordinary interactive elements designed by the acclaimed MinaLima studio, making this version a collector’s favorite for fans of classic literature and immersive editions.

First published in 1818, Frankenstein tells the haunting story of Victor Frankenstein, a driven scientist who defies nature to create life from death. When the being he animates — a grotesque yet deeply tragic creature — is rejected by its creator and all of human society, it embarks on a desperate quest for acceptance and vengeance, raising timeless questions about responsibility, morality, and the limits of human ambition.

This edition spans 412 pages in beautiful hardcover, blending classic storytelling with visual artistry and interactive design, making it ideal both as a literary keepsake and an engaging experience for readers. While the book’s themes (science versus nature, isolation, and the soul’s search for belonging) resonate deeply with mature readers, the creative visual presentation also makes it suitable for learners of Gothic and classic literature aged 12 and up.

Whether you’re discovering Frankenstein for the first time or returning to it as a beloved classic, this MinaLima illustrated edition offers a fresh, evocative way to explore one of literature’s most enduring and influential stories — a tale that continues to shape our understanding of creation, consequence, and compassion.
