Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister. Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives.
我想起最开始知道这本书是在什么时候。我买了昂达vx那一系的mp4之后不久从友燧那里拷来的一系列科幻名著,这是其中的一本。vx陪伴了我整个大学时代,无数言情小说偶尔正经文学流进流出,现在想来多么奢侈而不真实的日子。 老实说,那个汇聚了中外科幻大神代表作的文件...
评分自从亚当夏娃因为毒蛇的谎言而偷吃了智慧果之后,人类很快就学会了撒谎,并且将谎言活学活用,开启了滔滔不绝的说谎历程。谎言几乎就是人类文明的一部分,甚至有时候它本身就是文明的象征:历史上,大部分的统治都是建立在一个弥天大谎的基础之上。 《安德的游戏》,也是...
评分 评分《 安德的游戏》这本书,在我第一眼看到封面的时候,我直觉是一本成人的专业书,而且是很不容易懂的那种。我对这种书一般是敬而远之的,因为自己水平有限,买了也看不懂,就不浪费作者的心血我的钱财了。后来,在豆瓣上看到书评,几乎可以用好评如潮来形容。从书评内容来看...
评分喜欢的科幻小说搬上大银幕,我在Kindle上重读了「Ender's Game」。 (中:「安德的游戏」、台:「战争游戏」)。 // 剧透,未看打算看的朋友最好在此止步、转身。// 像是算计到有我这种读者的存在,电影相当贪婪的以两小时尺度来照搬小说里...
My appreciation is well beyond words.
评分very enlightening. I wish I could be like Ender.
评分大概十年前我还在每个月都买《科幻世界》的时候,就看到这本书每一期都出现在邮购广告里(邮购这个词好古老= =)。十年后它拍成了电影才想起把它给看了,感想就是科幻显然也是分年龄段的。
