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.

評分今天其实刚看完《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...
評分 評分很佩服玛丽 雪莱的功力,让我这个即使看的时候每页都有N个生词的人竟然也看感受到了书中人物的喜怒哀乐。 最大的悲剧也许就是你永远不能责怪哪个人,但是事情就这样发生了。The being, for I don't know what to adress it. 他没有要求Frankenstein创造自己,而Frankein...
