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.

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.

这本书是1895年出版的,被许多人认定为“科幻小说诞生元年”,威尔斯和凡尔纳更是有“科幻文学之父”的称号。 其实故事本身因为年代久远的关系,看起来可能没有那么新颖。它讲述了一位“时间旅者”通过时间机器穿越到802701年,发现人类进入了衰退期,并进化为两个种族:艾洛伊...

不愧是科幻小说鼻祖之一,写得真够……原始的。读起来和其他19世纪末的科幻或者类似科幻的小说有很多相似之处,比如说通篇第一人称,比如说大段大段独白,比如说主人公主观推理猜想段落比剧情超出一大截。这些让这本书读起来难免有些乏味,不过还好篇幅不长。这可能是作者是英...

书中有很多观点让我很是惊讶,也觉得确实很有道理,比如,时间是空间的第四维,“力量是需求的产物,安逸助长虚弱”,“人类终将毁了自己”。 基于现代科学技术水平蒸蒸日上,我从未想过人类会走向衰落的尽头。我们的社会一直把共产主义作为追求的最终目标,我也对共产...

英国人Herbert George Wells在1895年的科幻名作。第一次知道这部作品是通过《科幻世界》。那一期的《科幻世界》上登了一幅彩图,一位英国绅士寂然地站立在海边,身旁是他的奇形怪状的时间机器,而他所面对的则是一轮很庞大很庞大的太阳烘烤下的海水。整个世界成了诡异的紫红色...
