description: Two volumes in one. The mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll becomes the murderous Mr. Hyde in this timelss tale of terror, an allegory of humanity's capacity for both good and evil. Frankenstein, Mary Shelley's prophetic classic, deals with the dangers inherent in the single-minded pursuit of science. It also portrays the injustice of a society that persecutes those who are "different." Could Dr. Frankenstein's creation have become a man rather than a monster? Disturbing, thought-provoking, and moving, Frankenstein is much more than a novel of terror.
