《1984动物农场（珍藏版）》中描述的是对极权主义恶性发展的预言人性遭到扼杀，自由遭到剥夺，思想受到钳制，生活极度贫乏、单调。特别可怕的是：人性已堕落到不分是非善恶的程度。一段写于五十年前的绝妙政治寓言让人不寒而栗：如果有一天这一切再重现……从未在任何极权国家生活过的英国人奥威尔，何以有如此天才般的预见和洞察？其实就象丁春秋的逍遥派、东方不败的日月神教，作家们不过是透视了人性中最原始而丑陋的东西。

These lively, varied and thought-provoking science-fiction stories (from the era of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells) are linked by their imposing central character, the pugnaciously adventurous and outrageous Professor Challenger. The Lost World (forebear of Jurassic Park) vividly depicts a perilous region in which the explorers confront creatures from the prehistoric era. 'The Poison Belt' presents an eerie doomsday scenario, while ‘The Disintegration Machine’ satirically comments on scientific cynicism. In ‘When the World Screamed’, the planet responds violently to an experimental incursion. The strangest item is 'The Land of Mist', which seeks to reconcile science with spiritualism. This memorable collection provides imaginative entertainment, entrancing escapism and bold provocation.
