Autorenporträt
H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England, was a prolific writer often called 'the father of science fiction.' His work encompasses various genres, achieving fame through his science fiction novels while also contributing to other literary forms. A visionary and futurist, Wells's narratives often explore themes of social injustice, evolution, and the dangers and possibilities opened by scientific advancements. Among his oeuvre is 'Certain Personal Matters' (1897), a collection of essays that offers insight into Wells's satirical wit and intellectual preoccupations during the late Victorian era. Wells's contributions to the literary landscape include seminal works such as 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The Invisible Man' (1897), and 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' (1896), which not only captivated readers with their imaginative plots but also invited contemplation on human nature and morality. With an education in biology under Thomas Henry Huxley and a commitment to social improvement reflected in his writings, Wells's literary style combined a clear, journalistic approach with an inventive imagination. His influence extends beyond literature into social and political realms, underscoring his reputation as a literary innovator and social thinker until his death on August 13, 1946.
