Frankenstein

My name is Henri Clerval, and I was born in the city of Geneva in the year 1775, the son of a cloth merchant. I was an only child, and this for me was the cause of much unhappiness. My mother had died when I was very young, and there was no one to make peace between me and my father. Thus life at home became unhappy, and would have become impossible if I had not had Victor Frankenstein as a friend.
