Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946), usually referred to as H. G. Wells, was an English writer. He was prolific in many genres, writing dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, satire, biography, and autobiography, including even two books on war games. He is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called a "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. During his own lifetime, however, he was most prominent as a forward-looking, even prophetic social critic who devoted his literary talents to the development of a progressive vision on a global scale. A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of airplanes, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. Brian Aldiss referred to Wells as the "Shakespeare of science fiction”. His most notable science fiction works include The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times. Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he wrote little science fiction, while he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of journalist. Novels such as Kipps and The History of Mr Polly, which describe lower-middle-class life, led to the suggestion that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens,[12] but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. A diabetic, Wells co-founded the charity The Diabetic Association (known today as Diabetes UK) in 1934.
When the Time Traveller courageously stepped out of his machine for the first time, he found himself in the year 802,700--and everything has changed.In another, more utopian age, creatures seemed to dwell together in perfect harmony.The Time Traveller thought he could study these marvelous beings--unearth their secret and then retum to his own time--until he discovered that his invention, his only avenue of escape, had been stolen.H.G. Well's famous novel of one man's astonishing journey beyond the conventional limits of the imagination first appeared in 1895.It won him immediate recognition, and has been regarded ever since as one of the great masterpieces in the literature of science fiction.
韦尔斯在科幻作家中,虽不如凡尔纳但也名气蜚声世界,并且算是另一种流派,凡尔纳注重科技本身,以及科技实现后的可笑或者可悲结局。而韦尔斯则关注的是社会政治影响等,算是科技的社会流派。 《时间机器》:表现的是在时间机器的带领下,发明家在未来的见闻。其实主旨是反映贫...
评分非常Readable,英文很简单,每个chapter长度控制得很好,悬念足够,让我禁不住一口气读完。我手上的书是有插图,插图也很有风格。 想到的一些简单记录: 1,比较早期的科幻类小说其实挺有前瞻性的,对未来的大胆猜测,十有八九是正确的。后期的科幻小说和电影/电视剧,都可以...
评分科幻小说接触的不多,雪莱的《弗兰肯斯坦》读过,但没什么感觉;知道爱伦-坡有过类似的探索;知道凡尔纳的各种奇妙的旅行;知道阿西莫夫和他的机器人,但具体内容却一直没有详细看过。 至于这部《时间机器》,我看到名字首先想到的却是《时间飞船》,或者叫《小双侠》。...
评分《时间机器》(The Time Machine, 1895)是韦尔斯(Herbert George Wells)的一本小书,他本身就是很有意思的一个人,是新闻记者、史学大家、也是社会学家、小说家。《时间机器》是他比较早的一本小书,但被认定为“科幻小说的诞生”。 故事适合一口气看完,开篇一群...
