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.
《 安德的游戏》这本书,在我第一眼看到封面的时候,我直觉是一本成人的专业书,而且是很不容易懂的那种。我对这种书一般是敬而远之的,因为自己水平有限,买了也看不懂,就不浪费作者的心血我的钱财了。后来,在豆瓣上看到书评,几乎可以用好评如潮来形容。从书评内容来看...
評分论起喜欢的人物,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...
評分这真是一个残忍的故事。一群大人为了所谓的“爱国爱乡爱地球“的拯救人类的英雄情结,把一个几岁大的小孩心中残暴的一面引诱出来,继而培养他成为”人虫“大战的总司令。可是这场战争真的有意义吗?虫族已经不再挑起战争,而人类或是为了安心,或是为了安抚地球动荡不安的情绪...
評分《安德的游戏》呼唤起一些理性的热情,那曾经是我们一直想要的自己么?——一个冷静面对所有挑战、按部就班、稳步上升、兵来将挡、将一步步胜利统统囊括于怀中的人类么? 以前认为要描写一个天才是很难很难的事。现在发觉完全不是这样可怕的。每个人都有成为天才的潜质,只要...
評分自从亚当夏娃因为毒蛇的谎言而偷吃了智慧果之后,人类很快就学会了撒谎,并且将谎言活学活用,开启了滔滔不绝的说谎历程。谎言几乎就是人类文明的一部分,甚至有时候它本身就是文明的象征:历史上,大部分的统治都是建立在一个弥天大谎的基础之上。 《安德的游戏》,也是...
The details of this "game" lack intelligence and imagination that it was almost childish, naturally... Maybe I was expecting too much.
评分0贊1可以YY自己是天纔少年的感覺真好啊……昨天早上不到五點開始讀到現在,@Amazon,4×RMB
评分The details of this "game" lack intelligence and imagination that it was almost childish, naturally... Maybe I was expecting too much.
评分聽的第一本英文有聲書,趕在電影上映前聽完瞭,Orson Scott Card的寫作風格很有Asimov的風範。話說Wiggin傢是什麼基因啊?怎麼能生齣三個這麼生猛的小孩?這是一個大坑,已經掉進去瞭。
评分許久沒讀好科幻,簡單、直接,乾淨利落的正如安德勝利的那場戰爭。如Mazer所強令的, 停止抱怨。If you are in pain, it means you are learning and progressing. Maybe should feel lucky to be gifted and not waste it for sth unworthy or simply worrying about future.
