Autorenporträt
Herbert George Wells, better known as H.G. Wells (1866-1946), was an English writer who is widely regarded as a pioneer of science fiction. His literary career spanned several genres, but he is best remembered for his contributions to speculative fiction. Wells' fertile imagination and insightful social commentary are evidenced in his numerous works, which have earned him the distinction of being called 'The Father of Science Fiction', alongside contemporaries like Jules Verne. Wells' early works were predominantly scientific romances, where he explored the potential consequences of scientific advancements on society. His first novel, 'The Time Machine' (1895), is seminal in this genre, introducing readers to the concept of time travel. His subsequent novels, 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' (1896), and 'The Invisible Man' (1897), further explored the ramifications of unchecked scientific experimentation and invasion. The collected edition 'H.G. Wells: Collected Novels, Short Stories, Essays & Articles' provides a comprehensive insight into his multidimensional prose, which often intertwines with social and political themes of his era, such as class disparity and imperialism. Wells' writing style is characterized by lucid prose, keen observation, and an innate ability to meld speculative scenarios with the zeitgeist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His contributions have not only cemented his legacy in literature but also in shaping the contours of modern science fiction as we know it today.
