Set against the backdrop of the early 19th century, the narrative delves into the environment that inspired Mary Shelley's creation of Victor Frankenstein, reflecting the real-life scientists of her time. It offers a vivid portrayal of Shelley, her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, and their circle, including Lord Byron. The book highlights their intellectual curiosity and engagement with the occult, as well as the bold scientists pushing boundaries in anatomy and medicine, intertwining art, philosophy, and the quest for knowledge.
