I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure my dear sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking. I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of Petersburgh, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me with delight. Do you understand this feeling? This breeze, which has travelled from the regions towards which I am advancing, gives me a foretaste of those icy climes. Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent and vivid. I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation; it ever presents itself to my imagination as the region of beauty and delight. There, Margaret, the sun is forever visible, its broad disk just skirting the horizon and diffusing a perpetual splendour. There - for with your leave, my sister, I will put some trust in preceding navigators - there snow and frost are banished; and, sailing over a calm sea, we may be wafted to a land surpassing in wonders and in beauty every region hitherto discovered on the habitable globe. Its productions and features may be without example, as the phenomena of the heavenly bodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered solitudes. What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?

评分今天其实刚看完《弗兰肯斯坦》这本书,是一口气读完的,但是激发我读这本书最初的原因就是许多年前看过的那部电影,当时是电视台播放的,名字记不清楚了,好像是魔鬼化生人,或魔鬼化人生,或者魔鬼再生人,这本书被多次改编成电影,所以经过上网研究查证,才确认我所看的正是...
评分如果造出了一个丑陋的怪物怎么办?人们选择唾弃他,弗兰肯斯坦选择抛弃他。 如果生出了一个残疾的小孩怎么办?有的父母选择继续抚养,而有的父母选择无情地抛弃。 其实,这些问题都是相似的。 怪物的名字不叫弗兰肯斯坦,弗兰肯斯坦是创造怪物的人。怪物没有名字。 上帝造出...
评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...
评分Shelley's story shows interesting connection between creator and its creation. The monster and Frankenstein share similar character in some aspects: both of them are curious and learn very fast. They are both hesitant, eager for love, and bear great grief....
