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.

关于《科学怪人弗兰肯斯坦》是评论从它诞生那天起就不曾断过，这是一切科幻小说的鼻祖，是恐怖片的源泉，很多后期艺术都有它的影子，例如雨果《巴黎圣母院》卡西莫多一角的设立以及他的性格和遭遇、《剪刀手爱德华》中也有它的缩影，甚至连最近的国产影片《倔强的萝卜》里也可...  

初中毕业时窝在书城读完了《弗兰肯斯坦》，但那是缩写版。此后随着知识的增长，我一直把它当作科技哲学的问题。即人制造了机器，但并不能主宰机器，反而被机器反咬一口。直到最近读了完整版，我才知道这部号称科幻小说之母的小说，包含的无穷内涵并不止科技问题。 小说的情节...  

Shelley's story shows interesting connection between creator and its creation. The monster and Frankenstein share similar character in some aspects: both of them are curious and learn very fast. They are both hesitant, eager for love, and bear great grief....
