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
书中有很多观点让我很是惊讶,也觉得确实很有道理,比如,时间是空间的第四维,“力量是需求的产物,安逸助长虚弱”,“人类终将毁了自己”。 基于现代科学技术水平蒸蒸日上,我从未想过人类会走向衰落的尽头。我们的社会一直把共产主义作为追求的最终目标,我也对共产...
评分 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...
评分1809年达尔文出生的时候,拉马克的《动物学哲学》刚刚面世;1831年他登上“贝格尔号”的时候,玛丽•雪莱的《弗兰肯斯坦》被重新修订出版;而1859年《物种起源》发表时,科幻小说只还只是雪莱的婴儿,凡尔纳的世界冒险在等待成功,而威尔斯干脆还在天堂里观察将要投身其中的...

评分Not bad. With ideas new and fascinating at the time it was published. However, a little bit boring any way. I would recommend it to one either a little bit young like around 10 or so, who could get access to amazing ideas or mature enough to dig something more out of the first layer of thoughts.
评分A very, very, very exciting book with incredible imaginations!!!!!!!!!!!
