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.

下面重点说一下人物好了:
评分屯的,现在还看不了.过一段再说
评分也许是有了五代的教训,这次五前的宣传已经很保守(可能和本人没那么关注有关),官方CG和官方人物介绍都放得很有限,毕竟五代剧情大家都知道了,五前剧情就更好被玩家猜测而失去新鲜感。
评分是爸妈网的朋友介绍的,说是好书 确实不错,书的字比较大,适合亲子阅读或孩子自主阅读 是章节书哦,黑白文字的
评分玉中之疵
评分很好的分级阅读,非常喜欢,虽然纸张是再生纸
评分俗话说文无定法,写书评当然也无一定的格式,可以因人而异,因书而异。比如偏于谈感受的书评就可以直接从述感开头:“何建明的长篇报告文学《中国高考报告》是一部具有强烈震撼力的作品。不读则罢,越读越使人感到,高考的分量实在太重太重,它重得使许多中国人的腰背都压弯,连中华民族的脊梁也被压得出现了严重的畸型。高考啊!何时才能走出怪圈?”(《走出高考的怪圈》)想要带点文学色彩又要给读者一点悬念的也可以抒情开头:“若你走进普鲁斯特的世界,我想你不会不惊叹于那美妙的符号所产生的神奇魅力,不会不沉醉于玛德莱娜小点心的绵长回味,不会不震悸于人类内心的隐秘世界的强烈曝光。作为《追忆似水年华》的译者之一,我也不可能不更真切地感受到普鲁斯特开启的感觉世界对我的灵魂与感官的诱惑、冲击、洗涤、丰富、与净化。“(《全新而永恒的感觉世界》)当然书评的结尾也不一定都要推荐式的。可以表达某种愿望,如“愿借苇岸的亲切诚实的语言,生动盎然的诗意和宁静柔韧的美感铺就的小径,引领我们走向诗意栖居之地。”
评分原来以为是有图片的,买来才发现是一本薄薄的小说,留着孩子以后看。
评分暮菖兰是个潇洒的姑娘,我一直这么觉得,作为唯一活下来的人她又是最痛苦的一个,穿机后再去看第一版宣传CG才明白那三杯酒的含义,滴在酒中的泪,祭奠一份永远逝去的欢笑经历。也许大家并不喜欢她为了钱不惜出卖情报的作为,但看到暮霭村剧情我觉得我又可以理解,作为仙剑的主角,每一个人身上总是背负了些什么,好在他们总是有情有义的。
