À propos de cet e-book
In "God, the Invisible King," H. G. Wells explores the intersection of science, religion, and human experience through a thought-provoking narrative that challenges traditional conceptions of divinity. Wells employs a unique blend of speculative fiction and philosophical discourse, using accessible prose to engage readers in a profound exploration of moral and spiritual questions. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century thought, this work reflects emerging modernist ideas, questioning established orthodoxies while advocating for a more personal and compassionate understanding of the divine. H. G. Wells, often referred to as the father of science fiction, was deeply entrenched in the intellectual currents of his time, including socialism and humanism. His experiences during the tumultuous early decades of the 20th century, marked by war and rapid societal change, undoubtedly influenced his desire to reconcile belief with reason. Wells's lifelong quest for truth and understanding culminates in this work, which encourages readers to examine their own beliefs and the notions of spirituality in an increasingly secular world. "God, the Invisible King" is a compelling read for those interested in the dialogue between faith and reason. It is an invitation to challenge one's own perspectives and engage in a rich discourse about the nature of divinity, making it essential for scholars of religion, philosophy, and literature alike.
À propos de l'auteur
Herbert George Wells, often referred to as H. G. Wells (1866–1946), was an English writer prolific in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, and textbook and rules for war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is called a "father of science fiction," along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable works in this genre include 'The War of the Worlds,' 'The Time Machine,' 'The Invisible Man,' and 'The Island of Doctor Moreau.' Wells's literary style bridges the gap between Victorian England and modern narrative techniques, with a particular gift for foresight that has marked his work as prescient in many regards. In 1917, he published 'God, the Invisible King,' which deviates from his usual science fiction and fantasy themes. In this theological treatise, Wells outlines his own vision of religion, where he presents a more personalized conception of God and critically challenges traditional religious dogma. His advocacy for a worldview free of traditional institutionalized religion, while somewhat controversial, demonstrates his willingness to grapple with the profound questions of his time. His works have inspired countless readers and have been adapted into various media, ensuring his legacy remains significant in the pantheon of English literature.
