Ender's Game 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
这部书值得纪念的一点,与书本身无关:它是我第一部在ipad上读完的电子书。我预言,在不久的将来,实体书将越来越少,就像实体信一样。我要好好收藏现有的实体书,因为的确不打算买很多实体书了。 那两个星期,每天晚上抱着ipad,躲在床的一个角落,像得了强迫症似的一...
评分《安德的游戏》看得让人心痛,不过是一个小孩,却被安排担负起所谓的人类兴亡使命,而事实上,那场战争,更多是出于假想。在结尾,安德在虫族星球上,与虫族女王的意识对话,让我想起了《三体》中的黑暗森林法则。文明之间,是对抗还是和谐共存?前者是现实,后者是理想。 ...
评分一部很精彩的小说,讲述了在人虫战争背景之下的几个少年天才的成长过程,其中以安德为小说的主人公,安德以他超乎完美的天才能力——我个人认为他已经差不多接近上帝了——克服了诸多几乎无法克服的困难,艰难之极,最终成长为一个天才的军事指挥官,指挥地球的舰队以弱胜强击...
评分好像每个孩子儿时都有成为英雄啊救世主啊的梦想,我也不例外。这本小说恐怕就是最好的实现梦想的地方了。虽然情节是老套的人虫大战,但卡特把太空军事学院那段写的如此传神,不愧是星云奖作品。虽然卡特自己说想写的是《死者代言人》,但从后面来看,又出了《安德的影子》来说...
评分喜欢的科幻小说搬上大银幕,我在Kindle上重读了「Ender's Game」。 (中:「安德的游戏」、台:「战争游戏」)。 // 剧透,未看打算看的朋友最好在此止步、转身。// 像是算计到有我这种读者的存在,电影相当贪婪的以两小时尺度来照搬小说里...

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards
In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.
Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister.
Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. "Ender's Game" is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
英文版done。
评分少年版拿破仑。
评分于是他们上了一艘飞船,从一个世界到另一个世界。无论来到哪个世界,他总是安德鲁•维京,巡游宇宙的死者代言人,而她总是华伦蒂•维京,流浪的历史学家。安德讲述死者的故事,她则写下生者的故事。
评分读完了Kindle版,是第二遍读这部作品了。这部作品有时会被称作青少年读物的原因是因为你应该在青少年时期读完它
评分听的第一本英文有声书,赶在电影上映前听完了,Orson Scott Card的写作风格很有Asimov的风范。话说Wiggin家是什么基因啊?怎么能生出三个这么生猛的小孩?这是一个大坑,已经掉进去了。
