H.G. Wells-The Time Machine

H.G. Wells-The Time Machine

Herbet George Wells

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
pokkari
English novelist, historian and science writer Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) abandoned teaching and launched his literary career with a series of highly successful science-fiction novels. The Time Machine was the first of a number of these imaginative literary inventions. First published in 1895, the novel follows the adventures of a hypothetical Time Traveller who journeys into the future to find that humanity has evolved into two races: the peaceful Eloi - vegetarians who tire easily - and the carnivorous, predatory Morlocks.After narrowly escaping from the Morlocks, the Time Traveller undertakes another journey even further into the future where he finds the earth growing bitterly cold as the heat and energy of the sun wane. Horrified, he returns to the present, but soon departs again on his final journey.While the novel is underpinned with both Darwinian and Marxist theory and offers fascinating food for thought about the world of the future, it also succeeds as an exciting blend of adventure and pseudo-scientific romance. Sure to delight lovers of the fantastic and bizarre, The Time Machine is a book that belongs on the shelf of every science-fiction fan.

H.G. Wells'S World Reborn

H.G. Wells'S World Reborn

William Ross

Susquehanna University Press
2002
sidottu
H. G. Wells's World Reborn: The Outline of History and its Companions explores the phenomenon that was H. G. Wells's Outline of History and subsequent volumes built around the biological and social sciences. First published in 1919, the Outline was immensely successful, starting a fad for explanations of the world aimed at a knowledge-hungry middle-class audience. Ross examines the Wellsian view of universal history, both in its conception and its execution, and also looks at the Outline's reception by contemporary historians, especially those associated with the American New History movement. He also surveys the scope, and relative strengths of the two subsequent and more moderately successful volumes: The Science of Life and The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind. In a series of chapters, he also sets Wells's progressive, Enlightenment-based view of the world against more current attitudes towards race, colonialism, feminism, and eugenics.

H.G. Wells and All Things Russian

H.G. Wells and All Things Russian

Anthem Press
2019
sidottu
H. G. Wells and All Things Russian is a fertile terrain for research and this volume will be the first to devote itself entirely to the theme. Wells was an astute student of Russian literature, culture and history, and the Russians, in turn, became eager students of Wells’s views and works. During the Soviet years, in fact, no significant foreign author was safer for Soviet critics to praise than H. G. Wells. The reason was obvious. He had met – and largely approved of – Lenin, was a close friend of the Soviet literary giant Maxim Gorky and, in general, expressed much respect for Russia’s evolving Communist experiment, even after it fell into Stalin’s hands. While Wells’s attitude towards the Soviet Union was, nevertheless, often ambivalent, there is definitely nothing ambiguous about the tremendous influence his works had on Russian literary and cultural life.

H.G. Wells and the Twenty-First Century

H.G. Wells and the Twenty-First Century

Bill Cooke

LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023
sidottu
H.G. Wells has been branded as a novelist who betrayed his vocation. But Wells saw himself as what we would today call a public intellectual. How credible is this claim? And what happens when we look at him in this way? So typecast has Wells’s reputation become that neither of these questions has been previously asked, but when we look at Wells as a thinker we find a whole new quality to his later works, which have invariably been dismissed by literary scholars as of low quality or even not worth reading. In particular, Wells’s prescience as a prophet of our current environmental problems stands out - for example, he foresaw anthropogenic climate change as early as 1931. Popular conceptions of Wells as racist, imperialist and eugenicist are also challenged. What emerges is a new perspective on a significant public intellectual and- pioneering prophet of the twenty-first century.

H.G. Wells's "Fin-de-Siecle"

H.G. Wells's "Fin-de-Siecle"

Peter Lang AG
2007
nidottu
The essays contained in this collection focus on the early H. G. Wells, the scientific romancer, the comic novelist and the young author discovering the literary lite. Written at the crossroads of a new century, the authors of these essays use their own fin-de-si cle experiences to look back one hundred years and critically assess the writings of an earlier fin-de-si cle. With seven chapters dealing with The Time Machine, The Wheels of Chance, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The War of the Worlds, Tono-Bungay and The History of Mr Polly, readers receive a detailed overview of Wells's literary output between 1895 and 1910. Two further chapters treat Wells's literary friendships, assessing his personal and professional relationships with the Victorian realist, George Gissing, and the pioneering modernist, Joseph Conrad, while the final chapter reveals Wells as a 'time traveller', employing poststructuralist techniques fifty years before that expression was coined.

H.G. Wells "Die Zeitmaschine" als Spiegel der Zeit

H.G. Wells "Die Zeitmaschine" als Spiegel der Zeit

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 1,3, Technische Universit t Darmstadt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zeitreisen hat es immer schon gegeben, in M rchen, Mythen und Legenden.1 Der Roman Die Zeitmaschine von H.G. Wells erschien 1895 bei Heinemann in London und brachte ein ganzes Heer von T ftlern, Physikern, Exzentrikern und Autoren auf den Plan, die nun eigene Maschine in die Welt zu setzen.2 Das Paradox der Zeitreise steht am Beginn einer ganz neuen literarischen Untergattung, die unter dem Motto "Was w re, wenn?" angetreten ist. Im 20. Jahrhundert wird nicht nur die Science Fiction, sondern auch die Geschichtsschreibung selbst von diesem Spieltrieb erfasst.3 Diese neue Gattung fasst auch Wells in seiner Zeitmaschine auf, welche auf einer von ihm verfassten und 1888 ver ffentlichten Geschichte aufbaut: The Chronic Argonauts. Er hat sie wenig sp ter verworfen "und alle Exemplare vernichtet, deren er habhaft werden konnte."4 Diese Reaktion l sst sich aufgrund der Tatsache erkl ren, dass The Chronic Argonauts viel konkreter und realit tsn her gestaltet wurde als Die Zeitmaschine.5 "Nach The Chronic Argonauts schrieb Wells mindestens sechs Versionen der Zeitreisegeschichte, bevor er die heute bekannte Fassung von der Zeitmaschine von 1895 abschloss."6 Die Erz hlung der Zeitmaschine beginnt weder im Weltall, noch in einer Zukunftswelt, sondern im England unter der Herrschaft Queen Victorias. Auf den ersten Seiten spielt sich die Handlung in der Bibliothek des Zeitreisenden ab, dessen Namen dem Leser nie bekannt wird. Der Zeitreisende hat Besuch von einer Herrengesellschaft, zu welcher der Ich-Erz hler, also der Zeitreisende, selbst z hlt, und noch vielen weiteren, wie zum Beispiel einem Arzt und dem B rgermeister. Die Diskussion der Anwesenden dreht sich um die M glichkeit einer Reise durch die Zeit, die durch die Demonstration und Vorf hrung eines kleinen Modells der Zeitmaschine ausgel st wird. Dieses Modell ha
