具体描述

'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 Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning, it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece, "Frankenstein." Written in 1816 when she was only 19, 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.

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，...
