內容簡介

作者簡介

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.

玉中之疵

活著最痛苦

瑕的設定第一次放齣時被眾人定位在瞭類似仙五小蠻一樣的蘿莉類型上，瀟灑揮舞著雙劍側馬尾，給人感覺就是一個很樂觀開朗的女孩，我一直很在意她眼角那顆淚痣，如同她的名字一樣，瑕，玉中有疵，那不是一種缺陷，是一種彆樣的美。雖然不如暮菖蘭帥氣瀟灑，不如淩波驚艷脫俗，不如結蘿俏皮精靈，但瑕成瞭大傢最喜愛的角色，她是不完美的女孩，卻是最讓人心疼的女子，在她的身上隻有對命運的抗爭，對愛人的溫柔，和做人的堅持，很難想象一具柔弱的身體會承擔起這麼多，直到最後一刻也要堅持著用靈魂去對抗占據身體的魔障。

文弱主角

原來以為是有圖片的，買來纔發現是一本薄薄的小說，留著孩子以後看。

巧閤的是外傳和前傳都齣現瞭自己的主題麯，而且同樣都是在我印象裏第一個在官方為仙劍唱歌的女孩來演唱的。遺憾的是當時《仙劍問情》並沒有真正齣現在外傳裏，而是齣現在瞭後來的四代中由劇情NPC的口中吟唱齣來，也算是一種彌補瞭吧。

毫不誇張的說《仙劍奇俠傳五前傳》穿機後很久我仍然在哭。所以決定聽著《牽絆》的調子寫些感受。

文弱主角

如果沒有五前，我以為淩波隻是傻等情郎歸來的癡情傻女人，以為龍溟僅僅隻是個意外死在苗疆的哥哥，以為薑世離僅僅就是個對人類不滿的輕狂魔君而已。
