Ender's Game 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
首先要注意,不要被封面上那个高大帅气的背影蒙蔽了,他可不是主角,主角是一个6岁的男孩。比较有趣的是,由于这本书的翻译同志没有点缀太多描写类辞藻,以至于全书中规中矩,从语言上,你恐怕体会不到更多亮点了。但这也反而成了这本书的优势之一。简单的语言,不仅适合...
评分一般来说,由于其独特的故事背景和写作上的诉求,奇幻文学是属于特定年龄层面人群的读物。比起庞大的奇幻文学全体,适合大多数人来读的此类只占有一小部分。他们也大多被奉为经典,比如《哈利波特》等。《安德的游戏》像极了罗琳女士的作品,他们都是关于一个男孩如何成为一个...
评分论起喜欢的人物,仍然是安德,偏重于前两部里的他。其实维京家的三个孩子我都喜欢。各种性格才华的极端造造成了不真实,但心理的斗争,精神的纠缠又是真实的。 还有那个对安德说“安拉”的孩子。 而行文的精彩,记忆最深的有以下几处:《安德的游戏》彼德和华伦蒂的控制与反控...
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。 ...
评分从科幻硬核、思想性、可读性等等诸多方面,安德系列都达到了一个前所未有的高度 非常精彩的(天才儿童的出现、游戏的结果和屠异的前提,霸主的重生),引发思考的(豆子的命运,安德的来历,安塞波的主人,猪族星球上的生态悖论和人类暴动的简单模型,虫族女王和树的意识交流...

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.
重读了一遍还是觉得精彩。
评分断断续续读了二十几天总算赶在电影上映前补完了=,=好看,虽然觉得有点偏juvenile.话说电影预告片里面几个主演年龄咋个都这么大喃?。。。期待明天的电影。
评分不敢相信这是1985年的小说,两天一口气读完。结尾处Ender发现Hive queen为他建造的巨人遗迹和end of the world那段,真是让人无法不为之动容。心理游戏的设定很赞,超鸡爱wolf children的那段。很奇怪居然木有人给我推荐过!!
评分英文版done。
评分买不起中文正版书,网上的译本又不咋地,就用kindle整了本原版来看看~绝对的简单易懂,生词量很少(全书共透析出300词左右),句式不复杂,篇幅适中,乃入门级透析小说~主角光环太迷人,怎么能有Ender这么伟大与温情并存的人呢……有说该书是三体三部曲的镜面对照,相当有道理~
