Although he is probably best remembered for his works of science fiction, he was also an imaginative social thinker, working assiduously to remove all vestiges of Victorian social, moral, and religious attitudes from 20th-century life. He was apprenticed to a draper at 14 and was later able through grants and scholarships to attend the Univ. of London (grad. 1888). Inspired by the teaching of T. H. Huxley , Wells taught biology until 1893, when he began his career as a novelist. His early books, full of fantasy and fascinating pseudoscientific speculations, exemplify the political and social beliefs of his time. They include The Time Machine The Wonderful Visit The Invisible Man (1897), and

H.G. Wells The English writer Herbert George Wells, born in Bromley, Kent, was one of the world's most prominent literary personalities in the era between 1895 and 1920. With Jules Verne, he was the inventor of SCIENCE FICTION; in the tradition of Dickens, he was a master of the comic novel; in his prime he was also a self-appointed prophet and popular advisor to the public on virtually every acute problem that confronted the modern world. His father was a shopkeeper, his mother a lady's maid. Wells left school at the age of 14 but 4 years later won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in South Kensington, where he studied under Thomas Henry Huxley. Another grant took him to London University, from which he graduated with a degree in biology in 1890. By the time he was 30 years of age he had already embarked on his famous series of scientific romances, notably The Invisible Man (1897) and The TIME MACHINE. It was while he was living in Woking that he wrote The WAR OF THE WORLDS. He incorporated many places in and around Woking into his story, including the landing of the Martians on nearby Horsell Common.

Wells widely considered the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells' works are important political and social commentary of the 20th century. H.G. Wells was an outspoken social reformer, whose works were influenced strongly by a scientific background. Jules Verne had a strong influence on him, and the genre of science fiction owes its visionary aspects to Wells. He worked as a draper's apprentice, bookkeeper, tutor, and journalist until around 1895, which is when he became a full-time writer. Wells supported World War One, but, by the Second, he saw no hope for a mankind continually warring. Source : Classics Network Editorial Team English novelist, journalist, sociologist, and historian, whose science fiction stories have been filmed many times. Wells's best known works are THE TIME MACHINE (1895), one of the first modern science fiction stories, THE INVISIBLE MAN (1897), and THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1898). Wells wrote over a hundred of books, about fifty of them novels.

Wells Speciale dal The New York Times, 1946 [Per molti anni Wells ha combattuto con successo il diabete, ma negli ultimi mesi la sua salute si è deteriorata, ha fatto sapere la United Press. Secondo le notizie di agenzia, Wells ha capito un paio di settiname fa che la fine era vicina. Ad un amico che lo ha rimproverato per la sua disattenzione nel corso di una conversazione, lo scrittore ha detto: "non interrompermi. Non vedi che sono occupato a morire?"] Nel corso di una carriera che ha abbracciato più di cinquanta anni, Wells, attraverso i suoi scritti e le sue previsioni, spesso ha fatto notizia in un tutto il mondo. Già nel 1914, predisse la bomba atomica in un racconto, "The World Set Free". Prima di ciò egli aveva previsto l'uso dei carri armati nella guerra e lo sviluppo dell'aereoplano come arma avanzata nelle battaglie. Previde anche lo sviluppo dei razzi. Nel Maggio del 1944, l'autore di "The Shape Of Things To Come" e "Mr. Britling Sees It Through", pubblicò un libro di duecentocinque pagine, "42 To 44", nel quale punisce molte figure guida del nostro tempo, inclusi Sir Samuel Hoare e Lord Vansittart. (...) Considerando questa opera "strong meat for babes" Wells ne pubblicò solo duemila copie.

US sales in association with: UK sales in association with: Canadian sales in association with: Second hand sales in association with: all of Catharton just Authors Catharton Authors W : Wells, H.G. Herbert George Wells aka H.G. Wells Universally known as H.G. Wells, he was one of the most popular and widely known authors of his time. This was partly the result of the amazingly wide variety of his interests and subject matter, and although he is perhaps most widely known nowadays as a pioneer of science fiction he is still also celebrated as a (sometimes comic) observer of the English. Wells was born in Kent. His father is variously described as a failed shopkeeper and professional cricketer, and he himself after an unsuccessful spell as an apprentice draper became first a student teacher in Midhurst and eventually, by dint of various scholarships, made his way to the Normal School of Science in South Kensington (now part of one of Britain's leading scientific institutions, Imperial College). In the Normal School he was taught by, among others, the distinguished biologist T.H. Huxley. The struggles of his early years provide the background of his semi-autobiographical comic novels such as 'Love And Mr. Lewisham' (1900), 'Kipps' (1905) and 'The History Of Mr Polly' (1910). To some extent such works were also attempts at social commentary, and his interest in contemporary political issues also inspired such novels as 'Ann Veronica' (1909) dealing with feminist issues and 'Tono Bungay' (also 1909) dealing with the power of modern advertising. He continued to display his political enthusiasms as a member of the Fabian Society, then the major intellectual wing of the Labour party, along with colleagues such as

They include The Time Machine The Wonderful Visit The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds In the novels of his middle period Wells turned from the fantastic to the realistic, delineating with great energy and color the world he lived in. These books, considered his finest achievement, include Kipps Tono-Bungay (1909), and The History of Mr. Polly (1910). His later books are primarily novels of ideas in which he sets forth his view of the plans and concessions individuals must make in order to survive. Included among these final works, which became increasingly pessimistic as Wells aged, are The World of William Clissold The Shape of Things to Come World Brain (1938), and
