In the aftermath of his terrible war, Ender Wiggin disappeared, and a powerful voice arose: The Speaker for the Dead, who told the true story of the Bugger War.
Now, long years later, a second alien race has been discovered, but again the aliens' ways are strange and frightening...again, humans die. And it is only the Speaker for the Dead, who is also Ender Wiggin the Xenocide, who has the courage to confront the mystery...and the truth. "Speaker for the Dead" is the winner of the 1986 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1987 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
“即使是邻村的居民,我们都不能完全做到将他们视为和自己一样的人。在这种情况下,怎么可能假定我们会将另外一种进化路线完全不同于人类的、有能力制造工具的社会化生物视为自己的兄弟.而不是野兽?视为向智慧圣坛前进道路上的同行者,而不是竞争对手?” 开篇就点明了核心...
评分奥森·斯卡德是我最喜欢的科幻小说家,当年读《安德的游戏》时,我发觉我比较喜欢这位小说家,后来读《安德的影子》里,我发觉我已经有些崇拜这位小说家了,等到这次读了《死者的代言人》后,我觉得我可以跪拜这位小说家了,简单地说他已经进入到了神的领域,就和书中的安德一...
评分其实我不应该一看完就写评论的,等过几年,再读一遍的时候会更好.不过我想,几年后我当然可以写得更冷静,更深入,但是此刻初次阅读的情绪恐怕也就没有了,带点情绪也未必没有价值. 杰出的作品,让每个人都可以用自己的方式来读,《死者代言人》就是这样的一面镜子,我们从中照见自...
评分《死者代言人》讲述的是一个关于生命、沟通、谅解和救赎的故事,尽管中译本翻译得很粗糙,读起来全无文字上的愉悦,但仍不妨碍故事的精彩程度。 这本书值得说的地方太多,虽然写的是一个科幻故事,但反映的却是人类自身的问题。既有宏观人性层面的反思(人类和猪崽不正是当年白...
评分故事发生在Ender's game 的很多年(两千年?)之后。 Andrew 和姐姐在各星球之间旅行,Andrew作为“Speaker for the Dead” 死者代言人, Valentine作为写书的历史学家。 也是因为他们在各个星际旅行,使得实际年龄比时间小很多(时间在星际旅行过程中变慢)。 政治:星际议会...
Orson Card这个人的文笔,简直是证明了小学生也能写名著
评分OMG
评分最喜欢的科幻作品之一,反复读了不下五遍,真正的神作。
评分年初一病中重读。宗教意味浓重,悲伤,美丽。安德是不折不扣的圣人。
评分上接同名: … 如果有一天,人类的领域真正突破地球和地球引力,进入太阳系,我们就有机会讲一些常数变为参数添加进意识,这当然会经历适应的过程。 对比来说,对物理量的变化的适应已经非常容易,只需要一些时间,总是可以的。 更难以察觉当然也更难以调整的常量,往往深入人心,比如道德,再深入,比如逻辑。这最后一环,逻辑,是横梗在改变之路上最大的障碍。人类全部的存在与非存在,归根结底都建构在人类逻辑之上,它如此基础以至于仿佛地心引力那样地不为人所察。 因此,人类必然会忽视一个问题,当人类的领域扩大到宇宙空间、当时间被超越而变成一个寻常细弱的维度、当其他智慧种族现身,这个问题将动摇一切的问题:人类逻辑是否适用。 下转同名…
