Greatest Works of H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells built much of the machinery later science fiction would use, and this collection gathers the novels that did it. The Invisible Man, The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds appear together in one deluxe volume. Each of these books takes a single premise and follows it without flinching: a traveller who reaches the far future, an invasion that treats humanity as livestock, a man who gets what he wanted and cannot undo it. Wells wrote them as arguments about class, science and power as much as adventures, which is why they are still set for study. Inside this volume: • Brings together The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man and The Time Machine • Founding examples of what was then called the scientific romance • Social criticism runs beneath the speculative premises • Deluxe binding intended for a long-serving copy Suited to science fiction readers, literature students and collectors of early genre writing, available in English from Boipoka.
