The Strange Life of Dr. Frankenstein

54MIN

Almost two centuries after its release, Mary Shelley’s novel "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus", remains one of the first science fiction masterpiece. Through numerous theatrical adaptation, video games, comic books and novel, Frankenstein’ creature became immortal.

In 2018 we celebrated the bicentennial of the novel’s release. It provided a unique occasion to retrace the power and universality of Frankenstein’s myth, the genesis of the novel, and Mary Shelley’s incredible personality.
