Frankenstein was Mary Shelley's immensely powerful contribution to the ghost stories which she, Percy Shelley, and Byron wrote one wet summer in Switzerland. Its protagonist is a young student of natural philosophy, who learns the secret of imparting life to a creature constructed from relics of the dead, with horrific consequences. Frankenstein confronts some of the most feared innovations of evolutionism: topics such as degeneracy, hereditary disease, and mankind's status as a species of animal. The text used here is from the 1818 edition, which is a mocking expose of leaders and achievers who leave desolation in their wake, showing mankind its choice - to live cooperatively or to die of selfishness. It is also a black comedy, and harder and wittier than the 1831 version with which we are more familiar. Drawing on new research, Marilyn Butler examines the novel in the context of the radical sciences, which were developing among much controversy in the years following the Napoleonic Wars, and shows how Frankenstein's experiment relates to a contemporary debate between the champions of materialist science and of received religion. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
第一次知道这个人物形象是在阿拉蕾漫画里,在鸟山明笔下是一个很温和的人物,也许这多少有点影响我。 反过来说男主。 因为自己创造出来的肉体丑陋所以将其抛弃,做事情还不担当,明明事情有很多次可以挽回的机会。 巨人也很明确的告诉男主他想要什么,男主也知道怎么去弥补,但...
评分 评分 评分 评分一个完美的人,应该始终保持平静、沉着的心绪,任何时候都不该让热情冲动或一时的欲念扰乱心地的安宁。我想,探求知识时也不应该偏离这一准则。如果一个人从事的研究工作,竟会削弱自己对别人的爱,败坏自己的生活情趣,无意去领受那种不掺杂任何杂质的纯朴的人生乐趣,那么,...
2.14-2.23,重读Frankenstein英文原版。后人喜欢将原作以恐怖电影的形式改编,实则是个引人深思的科幻悲剧。造物主对创造物应承担的义务、人类在自然界和科学探索中需把握的限度以及与其他物种相处的法则。玛丽雪莱于19世纪创作的作品放在今天依旧能指导世人,可见其前瞻性和现实性。
评分重读。留给后世太多新近研究切入点的文本。Long live, intersubjectivity!
评分李鸥哥特文学,读本。
评分“真正意义上的第一本科幻小说”其实并没有体现这本书真正的价值,Mary在书里面通过两个人的对白引发了很多关于“人”,关于“善恶”,关于“道德”等等的思考。一位哲学大拿大意这样说“善恶相杀,善死恶存不是悲剧,是道德;善善相争,两败俱伤,这才是悲剧”。Mary的这本书,就像是道德的悲剧。还有让人读得不耐烦的开头,和一笔结束跌宕的结局,也是亮点。另外,关于“完整consummation”的讨论是不是也是从Mary这里开始的?
评分历经爱,他也会成为剪刀手爱德华吗?
