Produktbeschreibung

In this novel, Mr. Stratton wants very much to set down his thoughts and experiences of life. He wants to do so now that he has come to middle age and now that his attitudes are all defined and his personal drama worked out. He feels that the toil of writing and reconsideration may help to clear and fix many things that remain a little uncertain in his thoughts because they have never been fully stated, and he wants to discover any lurking inconsistencies and unsuspected gaps.

Autorenporträt

Herbert George Wells was an influential English writer, best known for his works in science fiction, though his prolific output spanned various genres, including history, social commentary, politics, and autobiography. Born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, London, Wells attended the Normal School of Science in London, where he studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley. Wells initially worked as a teacher and journalist before turning to writing full time. Over his career, he penned more than fifty novels, along with numerous short stories and non-fiction works. His early works, such as "The Time Machine,The War of the Worlds," and "The Invisible Man," helped establish him as one of the pioneers of modern science fiction. He also explored themes of social justice, the possibilities of science and technology, and the complexities of human nature in works like "The History of Mr. Polly" and "The Shape of Things to Come." Throughout his life, Wells engaged in political and philosophical discourse, influenced by thinkers like Mark Twain and Plato. He died on August 13, 1946, in London, leaving behind a legacy that shaped the development of speculative fiction and continued to inspire future generations of writers and thinkers.
