Frankenstein was Mary Shelley's immensely powerful contribution to the ghost stories which she, Percy Shelley, and Byron wrote one wet summer in Switzerland. Its protagonist is a young student of natural philosophy, who learns the secret of imparting life to a creature constructed from relics of the dead, with horrific consequences. Frankenstein confronts some of the most feared innovations of evolutionism: topics such as degeneracy, hereditary disease, and mankind's status as a species of animal. The text used here is from the 1818 edition, which is a mocking expose of leaders and achievers who leave desolation in their wake, showing mankind its choice - to live cooperatively or to die of selfishness. It is also a black comedy, and harder and wittier than the 1831 version with which we are more familiar. Drawing on new research, Marilyn Butler examines the novel in the context of the radical sciences, which were developing among much controversy in the years following the Napoleonic Wars, and shows how Frankenstein's experiment relates to a contemporary debate between the champions of materialist science and of received religion. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

評分“真正意義上的第一本科幻小說”其實並沒有體現這本書真正的價值,Mary在書裏麵通過兩個人的對白引發瞭很多關於“人”,關於“善惡”,關於“道德”等等的思考。一位哲學大拿大意這樣說“善惡相殺,善死惡存不是悲劇,是道德;善善相爭,兩敗俱傷,這纔是悲劇”。Mary的這本書,就像是道德的悲劇。還有讓人讀得不耐煩的開頭,和一筆結束跌宕的結局,也是亮點。另外,關於“完整consummation”的討論是不是也是從Mary這裏開始的?

評分2.14-2.23,重讀Frankenstein英文原版。後人喜歡將原作以恐怖電影的形式改編,實則是個引人深思的科幻悲劇。造物主對創造物應承擔的義務、人類在自然界和科學探索中需把握的限度以及與其他物種相處的法則。瑪麗雪萊於19世紀創作的作品放在今天依舊能指導世人,可見其前瞻性和現實性。
評分1818原始稿
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,...
評分“而我这个被遗弃的受苦人却是个怪胎,活该受人轻蔑、蹂躏、践踏,被踢来踢去。”小说结尾,怪物疾声控诉,控诉狠心的造物主,控诉不公的命运。在怪物身上,它的出生便是种罪恶,是伴随其一生的原生之罪。这就注定了它要穷尽一生的时间去救赎,而如何救赎,便成了横亘于怪物面...
評分In literature, writers often guide readers to favor protagonists by using names of the main characters as titles of their works; such examples include Beowulf,Macbeth,and Jane Eyre. In the gothic novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley likewise tries to gather h...
評分引: “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。 小说的情节很简单。弗兰肯斯坦野心勃勃地创造了一个奇丑无比的巨人,希望以生命制造者的身份赢得敬仰。但被创造的怪...
