图书简介:Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, generally known as Frankenstein, is a novel written by the British author Mary Shelley. The title of the novel refers to a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, who learns how to create life and creates a being in the likeness of man, but larger than average and more powerful. In popular culture, people have tended to refer to the Creature as "Frankenstein", despite this being the name of the scientist. Frankenstein is a novel infused with some elements of the Gothic novel and the Romantic movement. It was also a warning against the "over-reaching" of modern man and the Industrial Revolution, alluded to in the novel's subtitle, The Modern Prometheus. The story has had an influence across literature and popular culture and spawned a complete genre of horror stories and films. It is arguably considered the first fully realized science fiction novel.玛丽?雪莱(Mary Shelley,1797-1851):英国著名小说家,是著名的浪漫主义诗人雪莱的妻子。《科学怪人:弗兰肯斯坦》是西方第一部真正意义上的科幻小说,也被誉为“有史以来最伟大的恐怖作品之一”。玛丽?雪莱因此被誉为科幻小说之母,“弗兰肯斯坦” 亦成为英语中“恐怖”的代名词。“弗兰肯斯坦”是好莱坞的经典形象之一,这个伤痛而恐怖的故事比世界上任何其他故事拍成的电影都要多,小说中的怪物亦成为西方家喻户晓、在万圣节广为流行的面具形象。后世的众多恐怖、幻想类作品更是不断从中汲取灵感,让经典故事形象不断翻新。
