Ender's Game | |
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.
媒体推荐“Card has taken the venerable sf concepts of a superman and interstellar war against aliens, and, with superb characterization, pacing and language, combined them into a seamless story of compelling power. This is Card at the height of his very considerable powers--a major sf novel by any reasonable standards.” ―Booklist
作者简介Orson Scott Card is best known for his science fiction novel Ender's Game and it's many sequels that expand the Ender Universe into the far future and the near past. Those books are organized into the Ender Quintet, the five books that chronicle the life of Ender Wiggin; the Shadow Series, that follows on the novel Ender's Shadow and are set on Earth; and the Formic Wars series, written with co-author Aaron Johnston, that tells of the terrible first contact between humans and the alien "Buggers".
Card has been a working writer since the 1970s. Beginning with dozens of plays and musical comedies produced in the 1960s and 70s, Card's first published fiction appeared in 1977 -- the short story "Gert Fram" in the July issue of The Ensign, and the novelet version of "Ender's Game" in the August issue of Analog.
The novel-length version of Ender's Game, published in 1984 and continuously in print since then, became the basis of the 2013 film, starring Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis, and Abigail Breslin.
Card was born in Washington state, and grew up in California, Arizona, and Utah. He served a mission for the LDS Church in Brazil in the early 1970s. Besides his writing, he runs occasional writers' workshops and directs plays. He frequently teaches writing and literature courses at Southern Virginia University.

网友对Ender's Game的评论
我买的是2013年5月出版的平装版，纸张和印刷还可以，就是书的版面设计感觉是针对儿童而设计的，不知道的还以为这是一本讲奥特曼的
Though the letters in the book are so small==, the quality is good, and the novel itself was quite a master piece. The story is easy to read, not so many new words in it, i'd like to order a spanish edition but it wasn't provided in China, so, I chose the English version and it was really worth reading
以前没买过原版书，书到手之后也没有塑封，纸质稍差，比较小，像口袋书，可能原版书都是这样？我不太清楚，不过亚马逊发货的应该是真的吧
书很小巧很轻，可以放在包里随时看，第一次买英文小说很喜欢，以后都要经常买~
电影之后, 看了豆瓣影评, 说到电影如何糟蹋了原著, 说到了原著里关于尼采超人哲学等等哲学观点的存在, 非常好奇才入手的.
但老实说, 蛮失望, 再老实的交代, 看了1/3就无法继续了.... 印象流一下:
人物塑造过于单薄 (印象中, 比较多用"判定句", 人物的性格之类的, 真的是被"塑造"出来的. 作者几乎是直接告诉我是这样这样这样的, 而非我自己的体会....);
作为科幻小说, 架构出来的世界观, 价值观等等, 说服力不足, 所以很难融入, "假"的感觉挥之不去,
情节推进太快, 细节上展不开, 类似风过无痕, 只知道终点是要被吹到哪里....,
遣词用句真的只是童书的风格水平(没有,呃, "语言之美".... >_<)
这样的评分绝壁是不公正, 因为这毕竟是儿童书, 我一个成年人去买, 去看, 评价标杆自然是不合适的.
所以评分只一个"不合适"的读者的一家之言啦 :b
书本很小，且里面字体太复杂，有点错乱。希望没有太多错误。
学习英文不错，就小说的范畴来讲也是一部值得阅读的作品。
书很好，就是年代比较久远，有点旧了
儿子还没来得及看这本，科幻的，应该他会感兴趣。
女儿九年级，很喜欢，对英文程度要求不是特别高
