The story begins with the journey of an adventurer, Robert Walton, who saves the life of a man at the North Pole. That man, Victor Frankenstein, tells Walton about his experiments with the creation of life and how he ended up at the North Pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough this simple plot device, Shelley was able to deal with serious real-world issues like acceptance, tolerance, and understanding, as well as the universal human need for companionship and love. The novel, of course, inspired a host of films, from the 1931 classic starring Boris Karloff to \u003ci\u003eAndy Warhol's Frankenstein\u003c\/i\u003e, and more recently, a series of novels by Dean Koontz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis version, though slightly abridged, retains much of the original dialogue and remains true to Shelley's brilliant vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47383812047084,"sku":"9781906332501","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20250873482866.jpg?v=1773381693","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/frankenstein-the-graphic-novel-quick-text-by-mary-shelley-9781906332501","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
