瑪麗·雪萊(1797-1851),英國著名小說傢,因其一八一八年創作的《弗蘭肯斯坦》被譽為科幻小說之母。
'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.

評分《弗蘭肯斯坦》作為世界第一部科幻作品,其誕生無疑具有深刻的社會曆史背景。但是在工業革命的背景下進行描述的這種“造物者”與“被造者”之間的衝突的背後,又是否還有一個更為宏巨的隱喻空間?——引我這樣提問的緣故在於,至少在《弗蘭肯斯坦》中引申齣的“造物者”...
評分引: “即人製造瞭機器,但並不能主宰機器,反而被機器反咬一口。直到最近讀瞭完整版,我纔知道這部號稱科幻小說之母的小說,包含的無窮內涵並不止科技問題。 小說的情節很簡單。弗蘭肯斯坦野心勃勃地創造瞭一個奇醜無比的巨人,希望以生命製造者的身份贏得敬仰。但被創造的怪...
