Overview

"Russia in the Shadows" is a 1921 book by H. G. Well. It is a collection of articles from "The Sunday Express" pertaining to Wells's 1914 visit to Russia. This fascinating volume provides an authentic and unparalleled insight into Russia at the beginning of the revolution, constituting a must-read for those with an interest in the subject. Herbert George "H. G." Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Although he was prolific in many genres, he is best remembered for his science fiction novels, including "The Time Machine "(1895), "The Island of Doctor Moreau" (1896), and "The Invisible Man" (1897). Contents include: "Petersburg in Collapse", "Drift and Salvage", "The Quintessence of Bolshevism", "The Creative Effort in Russia", "The Petersburg Soviet", "The Dreamer in the Kremlin", and "The Envoy". Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

About The Author

H.G. Wells (1866–1946), born Herbert George Wells, was an English author known for not only his popular science fiction books but also works of social commentary, history and biography. His first novel, The Time Machine, was published in 1895. Socially progressive and visionary in intellect, H.G. Wells became one of the most prolific writers of his generation. Through books like The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and War of the Worlds, Wells delved into a plethora of social, philosophical and political ideas through the medium of what we now call science fiction.
