"I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion." A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine's room, and a runaway imagination--fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life--conspired to produce for Marry Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, Frankenstein .
Written in 1816 when she was only nineteen, Mary Shelley's novel of "The Modern Prometheus" chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, Frankenstein remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.

大雪封屋成就的世界上第一部科幻小说 结尾Frankenstein死去 Monster绝望哭泣后渐行渐远走向死亡 Mary仅17岁如何写得这样一部寂寞至极的作品 也难怪雪莱为她如此不顾一切

最让我震惊的是，只有大概两三岁的，靠偷偷听人说话和三本书学说话的，英语能学到这种程度。孤独毁灭人的故事。不喜欢弗兰肯斯坦优柔寡断毫无责任心，而且就不能把怪物造的好看一点么？以貌取人果然是天性。
