HG Wells

by H. G. Wells

Overview

“We should strive to welcome change and challenges, because they are what help us grow. With out them we grow weak like the Eloi in comfort and security. We need to constantly be challenging ourselves in order to strengthen our character and increase our intelligence.”

Few can claim a literary legacy to match that of H.G. Wells, whose fantastic tales continue to resonate after more than a century. This collection contains Wells' four most popular novels:

• The Time Machine
• The War of the Worlds
• The Invisible Man
• The Island of Dr. Moreau
• Ten of his best short stories
• An extract from “H. G. Wells: Personality, Character, Topography” by Robert Thurston Hopkins.

This is an essential addition to every sci-fi fan's library.
