A pioneering work by Mary Shelley, the "Mother of Science Fiction."
"科幻小说之母"玛丽·雪莱先锋之作
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is a landmark of Gothic fiction and one of the earliest works of science fiction.Through the tragic story of Victor Frankenstein and the being he brings to life, Shelley explores the moral responsibilities that accompany scientific ambition and human creativity.Driven by a desire to transcend natural limits,Victor succeeds in creating life-only to recoil from the consequences of his own experiment.The abandoned creature, intelligent and sensitive,is shaped into a monster not by birth but by rejection and isolation. The novel unfolds as a haunting reflection on knowledge, power, and compassion.Rich in philosophical depth, Frankenstein raises enduring questions about identity, responsibility,and the boundaries of human endeavor.More than a tale of horror, it remains a profound examination of what it means to be human.
