At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. obsessed with discovering "the cause of generation and life" and "bestowing animation upon lifeless matter," Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature?s hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein.
Frankenstein , an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises rofound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

评分 评分父子 弗兰肯斯坦是那个人造人的名字?我猜没看过书的人90%会有这印象。不过事实上,弗兰肯斯坦是造人者的姓,而他所创造的人在书中根本就没有名字(没人给他起!)。全书中,人造人最常见的称呼是怪物,其他的还包括wretch、murderer、deformity乃至vampire。至于“弗兰肯斯坦...
