Frankenstein

by Margaret Tarner

The Original Gothic-Horror Literary Classic Mary Shelley's deceptively simple story of Victor Frankenstein and the creature he brings to life, first published in 1818, is now more widely read-and more widely discussed by scholars-than any other work of the Romantic period. From the creature's creation to his wild lament over the dead body of his creator in the Arctic wastes, the story retains its narrative hold on the reader even as it spins off ideas in rich profusion. About the Mary Shelley (30 August 1797 - 1 February 1851) was a British novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). She also edited and promoted the works of her husband, the Romantic poet and philosopher Percy Bysshe Shelley. Her father was the political philosopher William Godwin, and her mother was the philosopher and feminist Mary Wollstonecraft. She died in London in 1851. "This is the definitive collectors edition and is a stunning and impressive uanabridged representation of a classic literary work." - Publisher's Weekly

update 15-2-2018
i should read the original text, beautiful / sad story with a deep meaning.

update 7-2-2017, ♡ Review After my second read:
we don't have to judge others by their appearances. And we have to re-define the word " beauty". Frankenstein become a monster because of people's fear and because of their non acceptance to him. But, frankenstein wants just someone to love, he was kind at the very beginning.
I am sorry for Victor for his loose

สรุปความมาจากเรื่องเต็ม เก็บโครงเรื่องหลักไว้ได้เกือบทั้งหมด แม้ว่าจะไม่ได้ถ่ายทอดความรู้สึกของตัวละครได้ดีเยี่ยมเหมือนต้นฉบับ แต่ก็ช่วยให้ผู้อ่านรู้เรื่องราวหลัก ๆ ได้เป็นอย่างดี คำศัพท์ไม่ยากเหมือนต้นฉบับด้วย
