Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This collection brings together Wells's landmark scientific romances: time travel, Martian invasion, invisibility, and experiments at the border of human and animal life. Written in the lucid, argumentative mode of the late-Victorian 'scientific romance,' these works transform debates over evolution, empire, class, and technology into gripping speculative fables. Wells makes the impossible seem empirical, while revealing the unease beneath modern progress. Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), educated in biology under Thomas Henry Huxley, brought scientific literacy and reformist urgency to popular fiction. Poverty, teaching, journalism, and socialist politics taught him to read invention as a social force, not a neutral miracle. His fiction therefore treats laboratories, machines, and alien encounters as tests of moral imagination and civic responsibility. This volume is recommended to readers who want both narrative excitement and intellectual provocation. Its stories offer suspense, terror, satire, and wonder, but they also reveal the foundations of modern science fiction. For newcomers it is an essential entrance; for experienced readers, a reminder that Wells's questions about progress, power, and human destiny remain urgently alive. 248 pp. Englisch.
