"I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion." A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination--fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life--conspired to produce for Marry Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, Frankenstein .
Written in 1816 when she was only nineteen, Mary Shelley's novel of "The Modern Prometheus" chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, Frankenstein remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.

评分关于《科学怪人弗兰肯斯坦》是评论从它诞生那天起就不曾断过,这是一切科幻小说的鼻祖,是恐怖片的源泉,很多后期艺术都有它的影子,例如雨果《巴黎圣母院》卡西莫多一角的设立以及他的性格和遭遇、《剪刀手爱德华》中也有它的缩影,甚至连最近的国产影片《倔强的萝卜》里也可...
