Frankenstein (Illustrated by Tomás Hijo)

Frankenstein (Illustrated by Tomás Hijo)

Our review

In this epistolary classic, we discover the power and risks of science. Victor Frankenstein decides to push his knowledge to the limit and give life to a being. But what would happen if you woke up and everyone rejected you? The story shows that sometimes "monsters" hide a noble heart, even if they live in the deepest solitude.

Frankenstein is an essential book to remember that the line between good and evil is fragile. It also warns against arrogance, as fate can thwart any ambition. Its agile prose allows immediate connection with the characters of what many consider to be the first science fiction novel. A masterful work, more reflective than terrifying.

You can now purchase this novel fully illustrated by Tomás Hijo. A true work of art!

💡Why is this edition special? Tomás Hijo not only illustrates, but reinterprets the myth. His classic engraving style, which has captivated directors like Guillermo del Toro, makes this book a piece of art. It's the perfect edition to rediscover the monster before the premiere of the new movie.
