When the Sleeper Wakes

Critics view When the Sleeper Wakes as a prototype of the anti-utopian novel, a genre developed by Zamyatin, Huxley, and Orwell into nightmare futures associated with the totalitarian age and the moral horrors of fascism and communism. Annotated by the world's leading Wellsian scholar, in Sleeper is found a greater measure of artistry and characterization than is usually accorded it. As a complex work combining technological with social speculation, Sleeper is unmatched for canniness in the history of futuristic literature. Indeed, its aeronautical details influenced the Wright Brothers in the design of their flyer, and the novel predicts the promotion of airplanes as a weapon, a prophecy dramatically fulfilled in the twentieth century. This exhaustive critical edition features a lengthy introduction, appendices, bibliography and index, and a frontispiece taken from the original 1899 edition.

H.G. Wells barely revised The Invisible Man once it was published, adding only an epilogue. But the opening statement of that epilogue--"So ends the strange and evil experiment of the Invisible Man"--has posed challenges to scholars. How to understand it? Does it speak strictly to the scientific elements of the novel? Or is it a part of the work's political underpinnings? The 1897 New York first edition (the first edition to incorporate the epilogue) is used here as the basis for the exhaustive annotations and other critical apparatus of the world's foremost Wellsian scholar. The introduction examines in great detail the novel's position in the Wellsian canon and sets the major themes in context with the literary conventions used in his other works, particularly the scientific romances.

'I was never a great amorist,' wrote H. G. Wells in his Experiment in Autobiography in 1934, 'though I have loved several people very deeply.'H. G. Wells composed his most candid volume of autobiography, H. G. Wells in Love, secretly, knowing it would never be published in his own lifetime. It is a great writer's true confession of the loves of his life, beginning in the 1930s when Wells was at the summit of fame having published The Invisible Man, Kipps, and The War of the Worlds. Though he had already written his published autobiography (the two volumes of Experiment in Autobiography are also available as Faber Finds), he saved his most private reflections for this, detailing his engagement in a series of romantic affairs, including his famous liason with feminist author Rebecca West, twenty-six years his junior, and his second wife, Amy Catherine Robbins. This volume completes and complements the published volumes and offers a unique insight into the life of one of the best-loved of British writers.

Ursula K. Le Guin's selection of twenty-six stories showcases H. G. Wells's genius and reintroduces readers to his singular talent for making the unbelievable seem utterly plausible. He envisioned a sky filled with airplanes before Orville Wright ever left the ground. He described the spectacle of space travel decades before men set foot on the moon. H. G. Wells was a visionary, a man of science with an enduring literary touch, and his originality and inventiveness are fully on display in this essential collection. "Wells imagined both dark and bright futures because his creed allowed both while promising neither, and because the eighty years of his life were years of immense intellectual and technological accomplishment and appalling violence and destruction."--Ursula K. Le Guin, from the introduction "Everything one imagines in the way of genius and fun."--Rebecca West Including these stories: "A Slip Under the Microscope" "The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes" "The Plattner Story" "Under the Knife" "The Crystal Egg" "The New Accelerator" "The Stolen Body" "The Argonauts of the Air" "In the Abyss" "The Star" "The Land Ironclads" "A Dream of Armageddon" "The Lord of the Dynamos" "The Valley of Spiders" "The Story of the Late Mr. Elvesham" "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" "The Magic Shop" "Mr. Skelmersdale in Fairyland" "The Door in the Wall" "The Presence by the Fire" "A Vision of Judgment" "The Story of the Last Trump" "The Wild Asses of the Devil" "Answer to Prayer" "The Queer Story of Brownlow's Newspaper" "The Country of the Blind"

Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells are among the best-known and most controversial literary figures of the twentieth century. Both were rebelliously critical of the social and political, familial and sexual conventions and structures of their time. They shared broadly similar interests, but their lifestyles differed sharply - as did their views on many subjects, including those discussed in their correspondence: religion, socialism, science, war and world history, the theatre, the profession of authorship, and more. The letters are always forthright, often abusive and quarrelsome, sometimes suggesting that the relationship cannot last. They are also often warm, good-natured, playful, and generous - reflecting a fundamental mutual respect and similarity of outlook, however contrasting the temperament and style. The great majority of the two writers' correspondence is published here for the first time. This volumes comprises the personal correspondence of Shaw and Wells through the course of their friendship of more than forty years, and includes and introductory essay by J. Percy Smith. The letters are fully annotated, and are accompanied by information about the circumstances under which each was written, to enable the reader to follow the course of the frequently tempestuous relationship.
Den osynlige mannen

Den osynlige mannen

H. G. Wells

Modernista

En milstolpe i science fiction-genrens födelse visionär, skrämmande och oroväckande aktuell. När en mystisk främling kliver in på värdshuset i den engelska byn Iping insvept i bandage, dold bakom mörka glasögon anar ingen vilket vetenskapligt genombrott han bär på. Men snart sprider sig ryktet: mannen är osynlig. Det som börjar som ett vetenskapligt experiment utvecklas till en kamp mellan individ och samhälle, mellan genialitet och vansinne. Den osynlige mannen, först utgiven 1897, är ett tidigt mästerverk inom den moderna fantastiken. H.G. Wells förenar här vetenskapliga spekulationer med moraliskt djup och gör osynligheten till mer än en fysisk egenskap: det blir en metafor för alienation, för maktens korrumperande natur, för den människa som sätter sig själv utanför det gemensamma. I en tid då vetenskapen gjorde rasande framsteg, ställde Wells de svåra frågorna: Vad händer när forskningen löper amok? Vilka etiska gränser får överskridas? Den osynlige mannen är inte bara en spännande skräckberättelse det är en varning, ett psykologiskt drama och en idéroman i ett. I översättning av Ingrid Ekman Nordgaard. H.G. WELLS [1866 1946] var en brittisk författare, journalist och framtidstänkare, ofta kallad science fiction-genrens fader . Med verk som Tidsmaskinen, Världarnas krig och Doktor Moreaus ö formade han en ny litterär tradition där vetenskaplig fantasi förenades med samhällskritik. Wells var inte bara underhållare han var en idéförfattare, en visionär, vars verk än i dag väcker oroande frågor om teknik, ansvar och mänsklighetens gränser.
