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.

评分《弗兰肯斯坦》作为世界第一部科幻作品,其诞生无疑具有深刻的社会历史背景。但是在工业革命的背景下进行描述的这种“造物者”与“被造者”之间的冲突的背后,又是否还有一个更为宏巨的隐喻空间?——引我这样提问的缘故在于,至少在《弗兰肯斯坦》中引申出的“造物者”...
