About Mary Shelley
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851) was an English novelist who wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), which is considered an early example of science fiction. 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 women’s rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft.
Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein when she was just 18 years old. The idea came during a famous storytelling challenge in 1816 at Lake Geneva with Lord Byron and others.
She imagined a scientist bringing a creature to life—an idea inspired by scientific experiments of the time (like electricity and reanimation) and philosophical debates about life and creation
Mary Shelley is considered the “mother of science fiction”.
Frankenstein remains one of the most influential novels in literature. The story has inspired countless films, adaptations, and cultural references.
Richard Rothwell’s portrait of Shelley was shown at the Royal Academy in 1840

About Albert Einstein and Relativity
Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist best known for developing the theory of relativity. Einstein also made important contributions to quantum theory. His mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2, which arises from special relativity, has been called “the world’s most famous equation”. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for “his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect”.
The theory of relativity comprises two physics theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to the forces of nature. It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.
The theory transformed theoretical physics and astronomy during the 20th century, superseding a 200-year-old theory of mechanics created primarily by Isaac Newton. It introduced concepts including 4-dimensional spacetime as a unified entity of space and time, relativity of simultaneity, kinematic and gravitational time dilation, and length contraction. In the field of physics, relativity improved the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves.

About Friedrich Nietzsche and Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a mental breakdown and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia, living his remaining 11 years under the care of his family until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest. His work centered on individual achievement and subjective reality, and he strongly criticized traditional values, particularly those rooted in organized religion. Nietzsche’s ideas challenged the idea of absolute truth, instead focusing on how individuals can create meaning in their lives to overcome nihilism.
Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a philosophical novel written by Friedrich Nietzsche between 1883 and 1885, that introduces key concepts like the “death of God,” the Übermensch (Overman), and the will to power through the allegorical figure of Zarathustra. It is a poetic and narrative work that critiques traditional morality, particularly Christian values, and calls for humanity to overcome itself and create new values. The book is considered a masterpiece and a foundational text in Western literature, blending story, sermon, and philosophy.
本书以诗体散文写成，熔酒神的狂醉与日神的清醒于一炉，提出了几个核心概念：
超人（Übermensch）：人是必须被超越的。超人是地球的意义，是人类进化的下阶段目标，是创造出属于自己价值的强者。
上帝已死（God is dead / Gott ist tot）：代表传统的基督宗教道德、超感性世界的绝对真理基础已经崩塌，人类进入虚无主义危机。
权力意志（Wille zur Macht）：人类生命本能的核心驱动力，是不断增强、超越自我的创造性冲动。
永恒轮回/永恒归返（Ewige Wiederkunft）：这是尼采哲学中最深奥的思想，即生命以同样的形式无穷尽地重复下去。只有能承受这一观念的人才是真正热爱生命者。
作品特点与文学价值
诗体哲学：采用格言、寓言、散文诗等文学手法，充满符号和隐喻。
先知叙事：假借古代波斯拜火教始祖查拉图斯特拉（瑣羅亞斯德）之名，进行下山布道、宣扬未来启示。
精神的反叛：横扫了基督教造成的奴性道德，谱写了自由的人性赞歌。

达尔文的物种起源英文原版The Origin of Species在竹和松出版社出版了
First published in 1859, On the Origin of Species presented Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection. The book transformed biology and influenced philosophy, religion, and science throughout the world.
This edition reproduces the historic 1859 text for modern readers, allowing modern readers to explore one of the most important works in the history of science.
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. It was published on 24 November 1859. Darwin’s book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection, although Lamarckism was also included as a mechanism of lesser importance. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.
Darwin supports his theory with detailed observations from plant and animal breeding, comparative anatomy, the fossil record, and the geographic distribution of species. His famous “tree of life” diagram illustrates how all species share common ancestry and branch out over time.
