威爾士科幻小說

『肆』 誰有威爾斯的《隱形人》中文版簡介及主人公簡介

剛讀完這本曾被許多科學、科幻方面文章引述過的小說原著——威爾斯的《隱形人（The Invisible Man）》（楊玉娘譯、林郁出版）——之後，才糾正了自己長期以來的錯誤印象∶隱形人最後並不是因為「雪地上的足跡」而被別人逮住，他是被一大群憤怒的鎮民「圍毆致死」的！其實這是 一向以來最擔心的，有時候受到兩三篇文章對同一來源的「不精確引述」，以訛傳訛，造成自己印象錯誤而不自知
當然，威爾斯的《隱形人》一書中的確有出現類似於「雪地足跡」的情節，那是在主角「葛立芬」首次將自己變成透明之後，因為不熟悉身份上的特質，使得光溜溜的他在街頭奔走時的眾多狼狽情況之一∶孩童注意到地上的足跡並好奇地追逐。然而，這位作惡多端的男主角，在故事的最後，卻因為無法控制自己的狂怒情緒，不顧一切地追殺那位醫師，被吸引到人來人往的街上，遭到所有人的群聚圍捕。

小說《隱形人》的故事，是一位患有白化症的男子葛立芬，拋棄醫學、追求物理的熱切科學人員。在他受到某些不平等的對待之後，性格愈來愈乖張與偏差，在他成功地發明「血液漂白劑」之後，變成隱形人的他依然經常惹出事端來。三番兩次受到人們的攻擊與侮辱之後，他決定建立恐怖統治政權的狂想，並向曾經出賣他的「坎普醫師」施以報復。但在一段驚心動魄的暴力交鋒之後，他仍然面對了失敗的命運。

『伍』 威爾斯和凡爾納，誰比較強為什麼

威爾斯PK凡爾納：
威爾斯是西方和凡爾納齊名的科幻小說大師，可他和凡爾納在創作方法上有很大的不同。凡爾納所注意的，只是科學技術的實現問題，幫助讀者設想在實現以後將引起什麼可笑的或可悲的結果。而威爾斯所關心的卻是科學技術發展的社會影響，直接反映了社會政治的矛盾和沖突，因而涉及更為廣闊的領域，使作者大膽的想像力得以奔放翱翔，並藉助於幻想的形象、怪誕的人物，離奇的情奇和誇張的手法來揭露舊世界的各種弊端。這一點正是威爾斯作品的進步意義所在。
只能說有所不同！

『柒』 誰知道H.G威爾斯《世界大戰》的簡介

《星球大戰》（The War of the Worlds，1898）描寫火星人入侵地球觸目驚心的情況。火星人比地球人更為發達，狀似章魚，體大如熊，他們的武器能發射出熱線和黑煙。熱線過處留下死亡與毀滅，黑煙起處城市頓成廢墟。地球上的槍炮炸葯對他們都無濟於事，一艘英國裝甲戰艦雖然與他們英勇奮戰，結果還是化為一團火焰。火星人沒有生殖器官，以分裂繁殖的方式繁衍後代。他們不飲不食，也不會消化，靠把捕獲的地球人的血液直接注入血管而生存。正當他們所向披靡，即將把倫敦夷為平地的時候，他們卻不戰自敗。原來他們對地球上的病菌沒有免疫能力，因而一批一批地死去。星球大戰、死光武器等等都是現代科幻小說和電影的常見題材。威爾斯的「熱線」與後來發現的激光相似，他的「黑煙」也與後來用於戰爭的毒瓦斯相當；小說所描寫的大規模殺戮場面也終於在兩次世界大戰中變為現實。

『捌』 威爾斯出版了哪些著作

1893年，他投身於寫作。1894年，他出版了第一本小說《時間機器》，是「關於人類命運去向的異想天開的一種推測」，另外還有幾本科幻小說：《莫洛博士島》、《隱身人》、《星際戰爭》、《當睡著的人醒來時》，主旨都是預示建立合理的世界性組織的社會改良理想，或是對人類文明發展的前景的誇張描述。跨入20世紀門檻，威爾斯更積極地投身於揭露資本主義社會弊端的創作活動中，寫了多部反映英國中下層社會生活的小說。1903年，威爾斯還參加了英國社會主義改良派費邊社，並成為該組織領導成員之一。他力圖把這一集合許多有改良主義思想的著名知識分子坐而論道的學術團體，改變成更有積極作用的群眾性政治活動組織，因此與蕭伯納等巨頭發生對立，而在1908年退出費邊社。

『玖』 誰有英國威爾斯的《隱身人》英文版簡介及主人公簡介

英文版簡介:The Invisible Man

Real Name: Griffin (no first name is given in the original story, but see comments)

Identity/Class: Human mutate

Occupation: Scientist

Affiliations: Thomas Marvel

Enemies: Teddy Henfrey, Dr.Kemp, Bobby Jaffers, Colonel Adye

Known Relatives: Unnamed father

Aliases: The Voice, Invisible Man the First, the Unseen

Base of Operations: Sussex

First Appearance: The Invisible Man (novel, 1897)

Powers/Abilities: Permanently invisible, although this didn't extend to his clothing, so that if he wanted to make use of his abilities, he had to do so naked. Likewise any food ingested remains visible, at least until properly digested. He is also extremely strong, though it is unclear as to whether this is a side-effect of the invisibility process, or a result of his growing madness.

History: Born an albino, John Griffin was a scientist, a graate of University College who had won a medal for chemistry. However he became fascinated by physics, and in particular light and optical density, and at the age of twenty-two he dropped medicine to concentrate on these new obsessions. He went to work for Professor Oliver at Chesilstowe College, a provincial establishment, all the while working at night on his theories. After six years he eventually figured a method which would allow him "to lower the refractive index of a substance, solid or liquid, to that of air" "without changing any other property of matter". He realised he could apply it to human tissue to turn the red colouring in blood white, without affecting its function - and since this would leave the only colouration in the body the skin pigmentation (which he personally lacked), he now had the means to become invisible. Deciding he could never finish his work with both his professor and students eating up his time, he moved to London and took up residence in Great Portland Street. After three more years his funds had run out, so he stole more money from his own father - but the money didn't belong to his parent, who shot himself in shame.

Believing his process finally perfected, Griffin tested it on a cat, turning all but its eyes transparent. Next he used the process on himself, and when his landlord proved too inquisitive, Griffin set fire to the house and fled into the night. Griffin swiftly his change was irreversible. Disguising his affliction with bandages, he moved to Iping, a small village in Sussex, where he took up residence in Mrs.Hall's boarding house. When money ran short, he used his powers to turn to burglary again, which attracted the attention of local police officer Mr.Bobby Jaffers. Confronted in the Coach and Horses public house, a scuffle ensued, ring which his secret was uncovered (quite literally). Griffin fled into the night.

Naked and hunted, he enlisted the aid of tramp Mr.Thomas Marvel, who he sent to retrieve clothes and his notebooks. When some of the villagers attempted to detain Marvel, the Invisible Man displayed a violent side, coming to his ally's aid with an unmatched fury. Afterwards he berated Marvel, making it clear that if Marvel failed him again, or attempted to flee, then he would die. In spite of this dire warning, Marvel did eventually flee, realising the Invisible Man's psychosis was growing. The Invisible Man soon caught up with Marvel in the town of Port Burdock, and beat him within an inch of his life before witnesses intervened, one of whom managed to shoot Griffin, winging him.

The wounded Invisible Man stumbled into the house of Dr.Kemp, who by chance he knew as a fellow alumni of University College. He appealed to Kemp for aid, who acquiesced. However it soon became clear to Kemp that Griffin was becoming increasingly insane. He told Kemp of his origins, and his plan to use his invisibility to engage in a "Reign of Terror", using fear of his unseen approach and the threat of invisible murder to take control of a town of his choice. But Kemp had sent a message to Colonel Adye, the chief of the Burdock police, who arrived in time to save Kemp from murder at the hands of his guest. Kemp told Adye how to hunt his prey, with dogs and with powdered glass on the roads to cut his feet. Hunted and pursued, the fugitive apparently committed his first deliberate murder, slaying Mr. Wicksteed on the edge of a gravel pit.

Emboldened by this, Griffin sent a letter to Kemp, declaring himself the new ruler of the area, Invisible Man the First, and stating that he would make an example of Kemp by killing him to prove that none could stand against him. Even though the police immediately put Kemp under guard, the Invisible Man got passed them, murdering Adye with his own revolver in the process. Kemp fled the house, with Griffin in close pursuit. The tables turned when Kemp ran into a group of navvies, who managed to trap their unseen opponent, and beat him to death. With his demise, Griffin once again became visible.

Comments: Created by H.G.Wells.

The Invisible Man described himself thus to Dr.Kemp, while attempting to jog his fellow student's memory - 「Griffin,」 answered the Voice—「a younger student, almost an albino, six feet high, and broad, with a pink and white face and red eyes—who won the medal for chemistry.」

H.G.Wells' Invisible Man has become one of the standard "monsters" of Hollywood, and inspired a slew of imitators. He first made it into film with the 1933, when Claude Rains played "Jack Griffin" in Universal Studios proction of the book. In 1940 Vincent Price played the second Invisible Man, Geoffrey Radcliffe, in the sequel "The Invisible Man Returns". Radcliffe was turned invisible by "Frank Griffin", the heretofore unmentioned brother of the original scientist. 1951 saw the third in Universal's series, when detectives Bud Alexander and Lou Francis (comedians Abbot and Costello) give an invisibility injection to boxer Tommy Nelson (Arthur Franz) who has been wrongly accused of murder, "Abbot and Costello Meet The Invisible Man" (the comedy o had briefly encountered the Vincent Price Invisible Man at the end of their 1948 feature, "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein", when he made a cameo "appearance").

In 1984 the BBC made a six part serial adapting the story, with Pip Donaghy as Griffin. The same year a Russian adaption, "Chelovek-nevidimka", was also released. In 1998 it was Kyle MacLachlan's turn in the part (again given the full name Jack Griffin), in a U.S. TV movie version of Well's tale. There have also been innumerable other Invisible Men, inspired by this tale, but not directly connected to him (see the clarifications for some examples).

The character was recently revived as a member of Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and made it into the movie adaption of same. The comic version is the same Griffin from the novel, who faked his death by putting another through the process, then sending this unwitting pe to meet the mob. The movie version is a thief who stole Griffin's formula.

In comics, Acclaim released "Classics Illustrated: The Invisible Man" in 1997, and in 2002 Moonstone Publishing released a sequel, "Legacy of the Invisible Man". Griffin was also name-checked in Dark Horse Comics' "Van Helsing: From Beneath the Rue Morgue", a tie-in with the Van Helsing movie, where the monster hunter discovers that Dr.Moreau has been experimenting on his beast men using Griffin's invisibility notes.

CLARIFICATIONS: He is meant to be the same character as

The Invisible Man of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

but should not to be confused with

Invisible Man, Daniel Westin

Invisible Man, Darien Fawkes

Gemini Man, invisible secret agent

The Hollow Man, another invisible scientist who went psychotic

any other many other "Invisible" people

主人公簡介:
The Invisible Man is not to be confused with Invisible Man, which is an entirely different book. The Invisible Man was written by H. G. Wells, not to be confused with Orson Wells who is an entirely different person.

Anyone who has only seen the movie and not actually read the book does not realize that the Invisible man has albinism. The lead character, a physicist by the name of Griffon, describes himself as having white hair and red eyes. Yet, for some reason, in the same breath he describes himself as almost albino. Could our mad scientist be in denial?

Albinism plays a key role in this book. Griffon has discovered that the only things he can turn invisible are things without pigment. He manages to transform a white piece of cloth, a white pillow, a white cat (except for its eyes), and himself. Pigment and melanin, because of its very nature could not be made devoid of its color properties. Once finding out how to render blood transparent, Griffon finds it easy to make everything else in the body vanish.

Griffon, experimenting on himself has neglected to think about how he was going to return to normal. He eventually becomes a pitiful haunted creature, on the run lest he be captured and made into a circus freak. He is unable to wear cloths (he would be seen), has to steal food and money and becomes unable or unwilling to control his rages. He winds up at the house of an old friend with the last name of Kemp, who, although the book does not use the word, (albino) also has albinistic characteristics. Griffon winds up chasing his friend Kemp with the intent to kill him.

So. Here is the scene at the end of the book. These two people with albinism are running down a road. One visible and able to live a normal life, one invisible: one raging and fearless, one fearful: one pursuing, one pursued: one clothed, one naked: one loved and respected in the community, one feared and hunted by everyone, you get the picture.

Griffon dies at the end. For some unexplained reason he begins to re-appear upon his death.

There are several glaring discrepancies and overlooked things in the book, such as: Why didn』t he make invisible cloths out of the invisible cloth? But we can forgive Mr. Wells. He has, after all, written some of the best known si-fi stories of all time.

I find it interesting that the lead character is named Griffon. I』m sure it has some meaning. A griffon is a hybrid animal part lion and part eagle. Perhaps this is a symbol of the al nature of man. The lion and eagle (cat and bird) are natural enemies. You would think they would not get along very well. But in the case of a griffon you have a unique combo creature that has to learn to deal with its al and contrary nature.

Read the book ant tell me what your thoughts may be.

『拾』 赫伯特·喬治·威爾斯的重要作品

1927年商務印書館引介《世界史綱》以來，威爾斯的這本大作便風行中國數十年不衰，且有文、白譯本數種，直至今天不斷重版再印，當然有其獨到的價值所在。該書在上個世紀二三十年代被譯成多種文字出版，總銷量達數百萬冊之多，是世界性的超級暢銷書。
著述巨型通史在西方素有傳統，吉本的《羅馬帝國衰亡史》、休謨的《英國史》和基佐的《法國文明史》等都是其中的佼佼者。《世界史綱》當然不能跟這些文藝復興以來的不朽巨作相提並論，不但篇幅上顯單薄，學理上更是有所不逮，充其量是一本通俗的世界史。即使起同時代人湯因比的《歷史研究》來，在深度和廣度上也難以比肩。但它也有突出之處，體現了作品與作者鮮明的二十世紀特色。最為明顯的是，此書開全史風氣之先。韋爾斯在導言中指出，「吾人對於全世界人類史中普通之事實宜具共通之知識，其需要在過去數年之慘變中極為顯著」。這里所謂「數年之慘變」，指的當然就是第一次世界大戰。戰爭重創了西方文明，也令倖存者深感整個人類的命運被牢牢地拴了一起。作為對西方整整一代人的精神危機的回應，作者從人類大同和世界進步的角度講述整個人類文明史，堅信「世固有通塞，而世界則常在進步中」，這與施賓格勒在戰後所流露的悲觀絕望恰成對照。從這點來看，韋爾斯依舊跟戰前一樣，紙和筆啟發著人們進行思考。不過既然作者的設想讀者仍然是西方人，所謂的「世界史綱」從內容結構上看，仍不免以西方史為主，只不過點綴上了一些包括阿拉伯世界和中國在內的其他文明而已。「世界」兩字更多的是落實在它將全球人類系於一體的史識上。 全球二百個地區受到了原子彈的轟炸，戰爭使各國成了一片廢墟，殘存的各國要痛定思痛，決定建立全球新秩序，在廢墟上成立新的世界共和國。
威爾斯在該書中「發明」的「原子彈」一詞，這個詞隨著科技的發展逐漸成為了現實。小說中描述了原子裂變所釋放的能量，使得人類企圖把它當作毀滅敵人的終極武器，最終使幾百座城市在「原子爆炸的沖天大火」中化為灰燼。
有故事說，原子彈的發明也源於這本書。當時移居英國的匈牙利物理學家利奧·西拉德博士突然想到了威爾斯的科幻小說《獲得自由的世界》，針對書中描述的場景，這個念頭最終促使西拉德在一年後前往美國，說服愛因斯坦提醒美國總統羅斯福，原子裂變技術確實可能製造出威力強大的炸彈。 一個人在昏睡了兩百年後蘇醒，發現世界上一切都改變了，他被莫名其妙地推選為叛亂者的國王，並投入一場全球的決戰之中。
該書開創了科幻小說中重要的一支血脈：「反烏托邦」小說。後來前蘇聯作家亞米扎京的《我們》、英國赫胥黎的《美麗新世界》，還有喬治·奧威爾的《一九八四》都繼承了這一傳統。在威爾斯的烏托邦小說里，「生態學」一詞頻繁出現，多年以後，這一概念才成為人們津津樂道的話題。 19世紀末期，火星人從即將滅亡的火星上來到地球，對英國發動戰爭，進而希望統治全世界。人類開始和他們進行了友好的會晤，被扼殺後才同火星人開始了戰斗。
作者以目擊者和當事人的角度描寫了人類對火星人的反擊，但是由於雙方科技相差太遠，根本無法對抗火星人。火星人摧毀城鎮，屠殺人類。而且火星人只是將人類視為一種低等動物，甚至以人類作為食物。眼看人類即將滅絕，就在火星人即將取得勝利的時候，他們受到了地球上細菌的感染而全部死去。 在《第一次登上月球的人》中，威爾斯的想像力再次凌空翱翔，在宇宙間縱橫馳騁。小說講述了科學家卡沃爾研製成一種能阻擋萬有引力的物質，並用它製造出一隻飛行球，與朋友貝德福一同前往月球探險。登月後，兩人遭遇月球人的追捕，貝德福得以逃生，返回地球；卡沃爾不幸被捕，囚禁在月球的地下世界，之後他又向地球發回信息，描繪月球人的身體構造和社會結構。此書把讀者引入了奇幻的月球世界。月球人根據各自擔任的社會職責，用生物葯劑刺激某部分器官畸形發展，如數學家的腦袋碩大無比，但四肢萎縮，警察肌肉發達，郵差腿腳細長等等。讀者不難看出這些奇形怪狀的月球人影射了從事各種職業的現代人。威爾斯用誇張的筆觸抨擊了現代社會分工對人類的扭曲和戕害。再者，小說中驚心動魄的追擊場面，無懈可擊的邏輯推理，瑰麗多姿的月球風光也是科學小說迷們所津津樂道的。難怪有的評論家稱威爾斯的科學小說作品「是幻想達到了高度的自由，經歲月之水洵洗後依然散發著不可泯滅的藝術光彩」。
