"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.

評分这本书读起来真是压抑,尤其是我自己心里其实一直也有创造生命的梦想。 弗兰肯斯坦原本是出于对生命的美的热爱,才费尽心血造出了那个怪人,结果却发现这个生命是如此丑陋,连自己这个造物主都无法接受。其实怪人原本也只是外表丑陋,内心并不坏,然而他的丑陋让人们都...
