About the Book

Robert Walton, an English adventurer, undertakes an expedition to the North Pole. While on this expedition (which has been a lifelong dream of his), Walton corresponds with his sister by letter. Amid the ice floes, Walton and his crew find an extremely weary man traveling by dogsled. The man is near death, and they determine to take him aboard. Once the mysterious traveler has somewhat recovered from his weakness, Robert Walton begins to talk to him. The two strike up a friendship (Walton is very lonely and has long desired a close companion). The man is desolate, and for a long while will not talk about why he is traversing the Arctic alone. After becoming more comfortable with Walton, he decides to tell him his long-concealed story. The speaker is Victor Frankenstein, for whom the book is named. He will be the narrator for the bulk of the novel. Born into a wealthy Swiss family, Victor enjoyed an idyllic, peaceful childhood. His parents were kind, marvelous people; they are presented- as shining examples of the goodness of the human spirit. His father, Alphonse, fell in love with his wife, Caroline, when her father, a dear friend of his, passed away. Alphonse took the young orphan under his care, and as time passed they fell in love. He provides for his wife in grand style. Out of gratitude for her own good fortune, Caroline is extremely altruistic. She frequently visits the poor who live in her part of the Italian countryside. One day she chances upon the home of a family who has a beautiful foster daughter. Her name is Elizabeth Lavenza. Though they are kind, the poverty of Elizabeth's foster parents makes caring for her a financial burden. Caroline falls in love with the lovely girl on sight, and adopts her into the Frankenstein family. She is close in age to Victor, and becomes the central, most beloved part of his childhood. Elizabeth is Victor's most cherished companion. Their parents encourage the children to be close in every imaginable way Â- as cousins, as brother and sister, and, in the future, as husband and wife. Mary Wollstonecraft, née le 27 avril 1759 à Spitalfields, un quartier du Grand Londres, et morte le 10 septembre 1797 à Londres, est une maîtresse d'école, femme de lettres, philosophe et féministe anglaise. Au cours de sa brève carrière, elle écrit des romans, des traités, un récit de voyage, une histoire de la Révolution française et un livre pour enfants. Elle est surtout connue pour son pamphlet contre la société patriarcale de son temps, Défense des droits de la femme. Elle y avance l'idée que si les femmes paraissent inférieures aux hommes, c'est là une injustice non pas liée à la nature mais résultant du manque d'éducation appropriée auquel elles se trouvent soumises. Pour elle, hommes et femmes sans distinction méritent d'être traités en êtres rationnels, ce qui implique que l'ordre social soit fondé sur la raison. Pour le grand public et, plus particulièrement, pour les féministes, la vie de Mary Wollstonecraft attire plus l'attention que son oeuvre. En effet, ses relations sentimentales, souvent tumultueuses, n'ont que rarement été conformes aux conventions. Après deux aventures malheureuses, l'une avec Henry Fuseli et l'autre avec Gilbert Imlay (dont elle eut une fille, Fanny Imlay), elle épouse le philosophe William Godwin, l'un des pères du mouvement anarchiste. Elle meurt à l'âge de trente-huit ans, dix jours après la naissance de sa deuxième fille, laissant plusieurs manuscrits inachevés. Sa seconde fille, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, deviendra plus tard célèbre sous le nom de Mary Shelley pour avoir, entre autres, écrit Frankenstein.
