O ovoj e-knjizi
In "Experiment in Autobiography; Discoveries and Conclusions of a Very Ordinary Brain (Since 1866)," H. G. Wells provides a deeply introspective narrative that intricately weaves together personal anecdotes, societal critiques, and visionary observations on the trajectory of modern civilization. Written in a candid yet reflective style, the autobiography spans Wells's life, offering readers insights into the philosophical and sociopolitical influences that shaped his thinking. The book is not merely a recounting of events; it serves as a commentary on the evolution of human thought and potential, exploring the intersections of science, technology, and humanism at a pivotal time in history. H. G. Wells, often hailed as the father of science fiction, was a prolific writer engaged deeply with the social issues of his time. His background as a teacher and his experiences in the tumult of early 20th-century England inform much of the narrative. Drawing from his diverse career and keen observations, Wells illustrates how the ordinary can lead to extraordinary insight, aligning his life experiences with a broader human context. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the philosophical underpinnings of modern thought, as well as admirers of Wells's fiction. "Experiment in Autobiography" is a masterfully crafted exploration that invites reflection on one's own experiences and the shared human journey, making it an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the human condition.
O autoru
Herbert George Wells, known as H. G. Wells (1866-1946), was a prominent English writer, hailed as a father of science fiction alongside contemporaries like Jules Verne. With a career that spanned the turn of the 20th century, Wells was proficient in a vast array of genres, but it was his pioneering work in speculative fiction that solidified his place in literary history. His novels 'The Time Machine' and 'The War of the Worlds' famously envisaged futures both wondrous and dire, and have continued to inspire the genre. Before his foray into speculative realms, Wells worked as a draper's apprentice and later studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley, experiences that would later permeate his writing. His social novels such as 'Kipps' and 'The History of Mr Polly' reflect his engagement with issues of class and his empathy for the common man. Wells was not only a novelist but also a sharp commentator on society, directly engaging with his readers through 'Experiment in Autobiography; Discoveries and Conclusions of a Very Ordinary Brain (Since 1866)', where he provided insights into his life and intellectual development. His literary style is characterized by a clear, concise narrative and a prescient understanding of the human condition, underscored by an enduring belief in social progress and the potential of science.
