One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World'

'That rare story to pass from literature into myth' The New York Times

Mary Shelley's chilling Gothic tale was conceived when she was only eighteen, living with her lover Percy Shelley on Lake Geneva. The story of Victor Frankenstein who, obsessed with creating life itself, plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, but whose botched creature sets out to destroy his maker, would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and remains a devastating exploration of the limits of human creativity. Based on the third edition of 1831, this volume contains all Mary Shelley's revisions to her story, and also includes 'A Fragment' by Lord Byron and Dr John Polidori's 'The Vampyre: A Tale'.

作者简介

玛丽·雪莱 (1797-1851) 是先锋思想家玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特和威廉·戈德温的女儿，十六岁时与诗人珀西·雪莱私奔。三年后，在日内瓦湖的一个潮湿的夏天，雪莱写下了她知名的杰作《弗兰肯斯坦》。她的婚姻生活因四个孩子中三个的死亡而受到破坏，1822 年，珀西·雪莱在意大利溺水身亡，悲剧接踵而至。他死后，玛丽·雪莱回到英国，继续旅行和写作，直到 53 岁去世。

Mary Shelley (1797-1851), the daughter of pioneering thinkers Mary Wollstonecraft and William, eloped with the poet Percy Shelley at the age of sixteen. Three years later, during a wet summer on Lake Geneva, Shelley famously wrote her masterpiece, Frankenstein. The years of her marriage were blighted by the deaths of three of her four babies, and further tragedy followed in 1822, when Percy Shelley drowned in Italy. Following his death, Mary Shelley returned to England and continued to travel and write until her own death at the age of fifty-three.
