Herbert George Wells was born in 1866 in London. He attended Bromley Academy, a private day school. After attending the Normal School of Science in South Kensington, he became a science teacher. At the Normal School, he studied under Thomas Henry Huxley, a famous advocate of the scientific theory of evolution.
Several early versions of The Time Machine were published in the early 1890s, but the completed novella did not appear until 1895, when Wells was 34 years old. It was the first tale of time travel, and it is considered one of the forerunners of the science fiction genre.
The Time Machine's literary influences are numerous. Most obvious is Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, written a century earlier. The Time Machine is a fusion of tales from fantastic lands, commentary on current British social questions, and an introduction to cutting-edge scientific theories.
Wells went on to publish more works of science fiction, including The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). He also published comic works of fiction such as The History of Mr. Polly (1910) and An Outline of History (1920).
Thomas Henry Huxley,就是大名顶顶的赫胥黎,也是胡适的老师
The future of mankind is not at all admirable, I guess, for anyone who finished Wells' "The Time Machine". The sympathetic account of the Eloi world is an poignant allegory pessimistically indicating the tradegy of our future. The Morlocks, however, even be...
评分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...
评分——“我们都有时间机器,带我们回去的是回忆,带我们前进的是梦想。” 赫伯特·威尔斯,于1866年出生于英国肯特郡布朗,于1946年去世。曾获得伦敦大学帝国理工学院的理学学士学位。他创作的科幻小说对该领域影响深远,如“时间旅行”、“外星人入侵”、“反乌托邦”等都是20世...
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》。...
30天知米阅读读完的。这是特别暖的一本书,而且结局很现实,过程也挺完美的,逻辑紧密。weena真的太可爱了。想法新奇,科幻书的典范之作。10分。
评分Not bad. With ideas new and fascinating at the time it was published. However, a little bit boring any way. I would recommend it to one either a little bit young like around 10 or so, who could get access to amazing ideas or mature enough to dig something more out of the first layer of thoughts.
评分对未来世界的描述,明显受马克思的共产主义影响
评分科幻小说的鼻祖。科幻为皮,骨肉是作者对社会问题的看法和科普
评分A very, very, very exciting book with incredible imaginations!!!!!!!!!!!
