　　THE STORY OF DR FRANKENSTEIN

　　No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. Instead of children's play and adventure, I was driven by a desire to learn. I was not interested in the structure of languages or law. I wanted to learn the secrets of heaven and earth. My father was not scientific, so I had to look for a road without having a map. I entered the search for wisdom and dreamt of finding a way to cure any disease.

　　I read all the books I could find that threw light upon these matters. I studied maths and physics and the works of many brilliant scientists. At the age of seventeen, my parents sent me to university.However, I found all that was taught at university very disappointing and decided that I would pioneer a new way, explore unknown powers, and unfold to the world the deepest mysteries of nature.
