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

评分黄粱一梦的故事其实就是一次时间旅行。主人公卢生在睡梦中提前经历了自己未来几十年的人生,醒来后大悟:“穷通之理,不过如此”,然后翩然离去,故事也到此结束。我其实不相信卢生之后会彻底绝了出人头地之心。纵然平平淡淡一生,他一样会有翘辫子的时候。为什么不搏...
评分非常Readable,英文很简单,每个chapter长度控制得很好,悬念足够,让我禁不住一口气读完。我手上的书是有插图,插图也很有风格。 想到的一些简单记录: 1,比较早期的科幻类小说其实挺有前瞻性的,对未来的大胆猜测,十有八九是正确的。后期的科幻小说和电影/电视剧,都可以...
