Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus has captivated the literary and scientific imagination for centuries.

The character of Victor, the scientist who pursues his goal – the creation of life from death – solely through his scientific and technological knowledge, paved the way for modern bioethical reflection; meanwhile, the suffering and emotions of the monster he created still prompt us today to ask ourselves what it means to be human.

Since 2006, the story of Frankenstein has been a recurring theme in K.I.T.E. initiatives, as a perfect example of the encounter between literature and science: finally, we will be able to get to know him more personally, and sip tea with him while enjoying a delicious slice of cake.
