内容简介

作者简介

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.

外传也好，前传也罢，给我感觉都是在尽量地起到一个衔接主线故事的作用，《仙剑奇侠传五前传》（以下简称五前）便是为了承接一代二代和五代剧情而诞生的，可以说，五前的出现让五代不再给我感觉像一个无中生有硬编出来的一段剧情。

文弱主角

五前的游戏长度大概较五代多出了一倍，（五前我通关用了50小时，五只用了30小时，后期同样都动了修改器），长并不代表就好，但五前的剧情并没有“扯麻纱”的感觉。十个可控角色是仙剑一次大胆的尝试，主角们个个都是个性鲜明自不必说，也因为有了他们，五代里提及到的名字不再只是个“名字”，而是有感情有担当的前辈们。

如果没有五前，我以为凌波只是傻等情郎归来的痴情傻女人，以为龙溟仅仅只是个意外死在苗疆的哥哥，以为姜世离仅仅就是个对人类不满的轻狂魔君而已。

文弱主角

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。

很好很实用，哈哈哈哈哈

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。”

下面重点说一下人物好了：
