具体描述
Since it was first published in 1818, Mary Shelley's seminal novel has generated countless print, stage and screen adaptations, but none has ever matched the power and philosophical resonance of the original. Composed as part of a challenge with Byron and Shelley to conjure up the most terrifying ghost story, "Frankenstein" narrates the chilling tale of a being created by a bright young scientist and the catastrophic consequences that ensue. Considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein and the tortured creation he rejects is a classic fable about the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of beauty and the monstrosity inherent to man.

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....
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，...
