In the novel Frankenstein written by Mary Shelley, the scientist named Victor Frankenstein resurrects a dead body and bridges the space between life and death.
With the help of some stolen organs and assorted limbs of corpses he builds a lifeless body and brings the creature into life. Then the creature swears a revenge against Victor for bringing him into this cruel world.
