Об авторе
H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England, was a prolific writer whose work spanned multiple genres including science fiction, social commentary, history, and politics. Often referred to as the 'father of science fiction', his early novels, such as 'The Time Machine' (1895) and 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), have become classics of the genre, noted for their imaginative concepts and insightful exploration of contemporary social issues through speculative scenarios. Wells's engagement with social issues is also evident in his later work 'Mr. Britling Sees It Through' (1916), a semi-autobiographical novel that offers a personal reflection on the First World War's impact on British society and the intellectual class. His writing style is characterized by its clarity, foresight, and ability to envisage the future implications of technological and societal developments. Beyond fiction, Wells was also a historian and social thinker, with works like 'The Outline of History' (1920) showcasing his broad knowledge and belief in the potential for progress through education and enlightened thought. Wells's influence extends beyond literature into the realms of social and political thought, making him one of the most important and enduring voices of the early 20th century. He passed away on August 13, 1946, but his legacy endures through his contributions to literature and social philosophy.
