作者簡介

Social philosopher, utopian, novelist, and "father" of science fiction and science fantasy, Herbert George Wells was born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent. His father was a poor businessman, and young Bertie's mother had to work as a lady's maid. Living "below stairs" with his mother at an estate called Uppark, Bertie would sneak into the grand library to read Plato, Swift, and Voltaire, authors who deeply influenced his later works. He shoed literary and artistic talent in his early stories and paintings, but the family had limited means, and when he was fourteen years old, Bertie was sent as an apprentice to a dealer in cloth and dry goods, work he disliked.

He held jobs in other trades before winning a scholarship to study biology at the Normal School of Science in London. The eminent biologist T. H. Huxley, a friend and proponent of Darwin, was his teacher; about him Wells later said, "I believed then he was the greatest man I was ever likely to meet." Under Huxley's influence, Wells learned the science that would inspire many of his creative works and cultivated the skepticism about the likelihood of human progress that would infuse his writing.

Teaching, textbook writing, and journalism occupied Wells until 1895, when he made his literary debut with the now-legendary novel The Time Machine, which was followed before the end of the century by The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds, books that established him as a major writer. Fiercely critical of Victorian mores, he published voluminously, in fiction and nonfiction, on the subject of politics and social philosophy. Biological evolution does not ensure moral progress, as Wells would repeat throughout his life, during which he witnessed two world wars and the debasement of science for military and political ends.

In addition to social commentary presented in the guise of science fiction, Wells authored comic novels like Love and Mrs. Lewisham, Kipps, and The History of Mister Polly that are Dickensian in their scope and feeling, and a feminist novel, Ann Veronica. He wrote specific social commentary in The New Machiavelli, an attack on the socialist Fabian Society, which he had joined and then rejected, and literary parody (of Henry James) in Boon. He wrote textbooks of biology, and his massive The Outline of History was a major international bestseller.

By the time Wells reached middle age, he was admired around the world, and he used his fame to promote his utopian vision, warning that the future promised "Knowledge or extinction." He met with such preeminent political figures as Lenin, Roosevelt, and Stalin, and continued to publish, travel, and educate during his final years. Herbert George Wells died in London on August 13, 1946.

毫不誇張的說《仙劍奇俠傳五前傳》穿機後很久我仍然在哭。所以決定聽著《牽絆》的調子寫些感受。

如果沒有五前，我以為淩波隻是傻等情郎歸來的癡情傻女人，以為龍溟僅僅隻是個意外死在苗疆的哥哥，以為薑世離僅僅就是個對人類不滿的輕狂魔君而已。

作為仙劍主角，這個男主顯然是霸氣不足，書生氣有餘的。坦白說我不是很喜歡夏侯的人物設定，更不習慣大傢統稱的“寶玉哥哥”，他的名字總讓我覺得是官方為瞭和瑕配對而生的，瑾也是美玉的意思，顯然北軟做人設的大師對取名沒有上軟那麼考究。（額，三代藥草，三外星宿，四代石頭大傢印象還很深吧？）鑒於對男主的第一印象很一般，我就一直沒有在遊戲裏用他帶過隊（劇情需要除外），不過瑾軒顯然不是那種像賈寶玉似的看見姑娘死瞭隻有哭的份的男人（略微吐槽下紅樓）至始自終他都沒有放棄過拯救朋友拯救愛人的責任，甚至他最後的抉擇讓我認為他比龍溟和薑雲凡都要聰明的多，雖然最後和瑕一起杯具，但至少也無遺憾瞭。而且，這個傢夥說齣瞭和“吃到老，玩到老”一樣最平凡但是最打動人的誓言。

也許是有瞭五代的教訓，這次五前的宣傳已經很保守（可能和本人沒那麼關注有關），官方CG和官方人物介紹都放得很有限，畢竟五代劇情大傢都知道瞭，五前劇情就更好被玩傢猜測而失去新鮮感。
