FRANKENSTEIN: A CULTURAL HISTORY

Book ID/图书代码： 06814008B25647

English Summary/英文概要： Frankenstein began as the nightmare of an unwed teenage mother in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1816. At a time when the moral universe was shifting and advances in scientific knowledge promised humans dominion over that which has been God’s alone, Mary Shelley envisioned a story of human presumption and its misbegotten consequences. Two centuries later, that story is still constantly retold and reinterpreted, from Halloween cartoons to ominous allusions in the public debate, capturing and conveying meaning central to our consciousness today and our concerns for tomorrow.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书以1816年日内瓦一名未婚少女妈妈的噩梦为开篇。当时，科学知识对于人类统治和他们的道德理念起到一定的转换和改善作用。Mary Shelley针对人类的自大狂妄和其私生子所带来的影响设想了一个故事。
两个世纪后，从卡通片到社会舆论，这个故事仍不断地被流传和翻译着，它的重要意义深刻于心。
书中，作者运用了大量图片生动地阐述和探索电影、文学、历史、科学，甚至庞克音乐的领域，知识内涵丰富，口吻幽默风趣，是本不可多得的优秀读物。(zy)
