Volume 2--The Invisible Man & The War of the WorldsFor those who know anything of the most outstanding British authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the name of Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) needs little introduction, for he wrote on many subjects. He is principally remembered as one of the 'Fathers of Science Fiction' and this six volume Leonaur collection focuses upon his writing in that genre--from the strange to the fantastical and scientifically prophetic--with which he will forever be associated. These wonderful and dramatic stories have been gathered together in these attractive, good value volumes in chronological order of original publication.'The Invisible Man' (1897) tells the story of Griffin, a scientist who has invented a way to become invisible, but has not invented a way to reverse the process. Given to extreme violence by nature, he becomes a stalking deadly horror. 'The War of the Worlds' (1897) tells the story of a Martian invasion of Earth in which giant tripod fighting machines wreak death and destruction on England. The tentacled Martians appear to be totally undefeatable by humans, but fall prey to common bacteria to which they have no immunity.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

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.
