Victor Frankenstein, a student from Geneva, wants to defeat death. On a rainy night in November he gives life to a being he has made himself, and when its dull yellow eye opens, he runs. The creature has no name. Driven away by everyone he meets, he learns to speak and to read in secret, and then he finds his maker on a glacier in the Alps and asks him for one thing. This edition tells Mary Shelley's novel of 1818 in six chapters of clear Dutch, with its three narrators: an explorer whose ship is caught in the Arctic ice, the dying man he finds there, and the creature himself.
