{"product_id":"frankenstein-9780613999830","title":"Frankenstein","description":"'I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion.' A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination -- fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life -- conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, Frankenstein. Written in 1816 when she was only 19, Mary Shelley's novel of 'The Modern Prometheus' chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, Frankenstein remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Turtleback Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780613999830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.60h x 4.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e533 \/ Frankenstein (Unabridged)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 17\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096080154805,"sku":"9780613999830","price":14.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7fdca9f6-934d-4a83-9cfd-0fba1db9212b.jpg?v=1692801792","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/frankenstein-9780613999830","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
