亞當·羅伯茨(Adam Roberts),1965年生,科幻小說作傢、評論傢、學者,劍橋大學博士,現任倫敦大學英國文學教授。作為一名科幻小說作傢,羅伯茨曾得到兩次阿瑟·C. 剋拉剋奬的提名。他的另外一部科幻理論著作是Science Fiction: the New Critical Idiom (2000)。
The first comprehensive critical history of SF for thirty years, this book traces the origin and development of science fiction from Ancient Greece, via its rebirth in the seventeenth century, up to the present day. Concentrating on literary SF and (in the later chapters) cinema and TV, it also discusses the myriad forms this genre takes in the contemporary world, including a chapter on graphic novels, SF pop music, visual art and ufology. The author is ideally placed to write it: both an academic literary critic and also an acclaimed creative writer of science fiction, with five novels and many short stories to his credit. Written in lively, accessible prose, this study is specifically designed to bridge the worlds of academic criticism and the SF fandom. The History of Science Fiction argues that, even today, this flourishing cultural idiom is shaped by the forces that determined its rise to prominence in the 1600s: the dialogue between Protestant and Catholic worldviews, the emerging technologies of the industrial age, and the cultural anxieties and excitements of a rapidly changing world. Now available in paperback, it will be of interest to all students, researchers and fans of SF.
这本来应该是一本好书,姑且不论原书学术性如何、译者翻译水平怎样,但毕竟是对国内较少触及的一个领域的引介。 但是,这本书通篇充斥着病句、错字、多字,简直让人读不下去。书名翻译不统一,相隔五六页就有出现两种译法;对于科学和文学术语的不熟悉导致术语翻译与惯译不符;...

評分这本书的前八章很精彩,从第九章开始感觉就在凑字数了。好在我对科幻这一类型没什么特别的看法,顺着作者的思路走下来,觉得很有意思。本书首先对科幻作出分类,时空旅行和想象性技术。古希腊有奇异旅行,近代开普勒戈德温的科幻小说是在哥白尼革命之后,科幻小说在哥白尼的宇...
評分首先要强调一点,这本书百分百是一部规范的学术论著。也许有人要问,学术论著留给学术圈的人去读好了,科幻迷凑啥热闹?但是,正如罗伯茨自己说的,科幻粉丝是一个庞大、热切、聪慧并且各执己见的读者群,他们通常能言善辩、知识丰富且愿意提高自己的理论学术修养(最后一...
評分后记 21世纪的科幻小说 笔者再以结论的方式重申一下本书的主要观点,也说明一下选择特定科幻文本的理由——越往后对于科幻作品必然变得有选择性。 首先要说的是,笔者并不是在论证“所有科幻小说都编译进了宗教神话”。这种观点显然不正确。当代科幻色彩斑驳,精彩纷呈,任何...
