Social philosopher, utopian, novelist, and "father" of science fiction and science fantasy, Herbert George Wells was born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent. His father was a poor businessman, and young Bertie's mother had to work as a lady's maid. Living "below stairs" with his mother at an estate called Uppark, Bertie would sneak into the grand library to read Plato, Swift, and Voltaire, authors who deeply influenced his later works. He shoed literary and artistic talent in his early stories and paintings, but the family had limited means, and when he was fourteen years old, Bertie was sent as an apprentice to a dealer in cloth and dry goods, work he disliked.
He held jobs in other trades before winning a scholarship to study biology at the Normal School of Science in London. The eminent biologist T. H. Huxley, a friend and proponent of Darwin, was his teacher; about him Wells later said, "I believed then he was the greatest man I was ever likely to meet." Under Huxley's influence, Wells learned the science that would inspire many of his creative works and cultivated the skepticism about the likelihood of human progress that would infuse his writing.
Teaching, textbook writing, and journalism occupied Wells until 1895, when he made his literary debut with the now-legendary novel The Time Machine, which was followed before the end of the century by The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds, books that established him as a major writer. Fiercely critical of Victorian mores, he published voluminously, in fiction and nonfiction, on the subject of politics and social philosophy. Biological evolution does not ensure moral progress, as Wells would repeat throughout his life, during which he witnessed two world wars and the debasement of science for military and political ends.
In addition to social commentary presented in the guise of science fiction, Wells authored comic novels like Love and Mrs. Lewisham, Kipps, and The History of Mister Polly that are Dickensian in their scope and feeling, and a feminist novel, Ann Veronica. He wrote specific social commentary in The New Machiavelli, an attack on the socialist Fabian Society, which he had joined and then rejected, and literary parody (of Henry James) in Boon. He wrote textbooks of biology, and his massive The Outline of History was a major international bestseller.
By the time Wells reached middle age, he was admired around the world, and he used his fame to promote his utopian vision, warning that the future promised "Knowledge or extinction." He met with such preeminent political figures as Lenin, Roosevelt, and Stalin, and continued to publish, travel, and educate during his final years. Herbert George Wells died in London on August 13, 1946.

The Time Machine 英文原版 [平裝] [6-9歲] 下載 mobi epub pdf 電子書如果沒有五前,我以為淩波隻是傻等情郎歸來的癡情傻女人,以為龍溟僅僅隻是個意外死在苗疆的哥哥,以為薑世離僅僅就是個對人類不滿的輕狂魔君而已。
評分五前的遊戲長度大概較五代多齣瞭一倍,(五前我通關用瞭50小時,五隻用瞭30小時,後期同樣都動瞭修改器),長並不代錶就好,但五前的劇情並沒有“扯麻紗”的感覺。十個可控角色是仙劍一次大膽的嘗試,主角們個個都是個性鮮明自不必說,也因為有瞭他們,五代裏提及到的名字不再隻是個“名字”,而是有感情有擔當的前輩們。
評分在仙劍的曆史裏,有過外傳的先例,早先的《問情篇》推齣,反響並不如正傳的《仙劍奇俠傳三》那麼好,記得自己還一度為這部作品有些鳴不平。
評分下麵重點說一下人物好瞭:
評分玉中之疵
評分囤的章節書,不錯的啊
評分玉中之疵
評分是爸媽網的朋友介紹的,說是好書 確實不錯,書的字比較大,適閤親子閱讀或孩子自主閱讀 是章節書哦,黑白文字的
評分雖然多數玩傢更喜歡純音樂的界麵,但這次主界麵齣現真人演唱主題麯的效果還是非常成功的,現在乃至我身邊熟識的人吹口哨都能帶齣《牽絆》的調調來,我很幸福地聽著,覺得感人的劇情一直留在腦海裏。
