Synopsis

This volume contains H. G. Wells's 1927 novel, "Meanwhile; or, the Picture of a Lady". This novel was written by Wells after being inspired by an unknown lady that he saw in the garden of La Mortola in Ventimiglia. It sprang into existence without any forethought, and offers a unique insight into the mind of this accomplished author. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a seminal English writer whose notable works include "The War of the Worlds" (1897) and "The Time Machine" (1895). Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

H.G. Wells (1866-1946) was a novelist, journalist, sociologist and historian, best-known for his science fiction novels. His first attempt at fiction writing was merely imitative, but he eventually set himself up as a freelance writer. Possessor of a lively and humorous style and the exponent in fiction of the relatively new subject of science, his scientific fantasies were hugely popular. Some of his successful novels are The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. Beneath his inventiveness lies a passionate concern for humanity and society. With time however, his works grew less optimistic and even bitter.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Away from England's political unrest and the harsh realities of the General Strike, life in Italy's Casa Terragena seemed positively balmy. Nothing like a little sun to see the best in life. Yet for Cynthia Rylands, this simply wasn't enough - she would never be satisfied until she had found the answers to her most perplexing questions. Turning to her companions for some erudition and guidance, she unearths a host of enlightened and downright entertaining worldviews. For in her companions are some of H G Wells' most sublime creations.
