Autorenporträt
Herbert George Wells, more commonly known as H. G. Wells (1866–1946), was an English writer whose prolific output spanned a diverse range of genres including science fiction, history, politics, and social commentary. With a career that commenced in the late 19th century, Wells is often lauded as a father of science fiction, with seminal works such as 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), and 'The Invisible Man' (1897) significantly influencing the genre. Beyond his fiction, Wells's talent extended to the realm of social and political analysis, epitomized by texts like 'Russia in the Shadows' (1921), where he documented his observations about Soviet Russia during a series of visits post-revolution and gave insights into the conditions and political atmosphere in the early years of the USSR. Wells was a foresighted commentator, advocating for progressive and sometimes controversial ideals, including socialism and world government, earning him a reputation as a utopian thinker. His literary style is noted for its clarity and imaginative use of speculative fiction to address the concerns of contemporary society and explore the possibilities of future technological advancement. His influence extends beyond literature into the broader cultural milieu, earning him a permanent position in the pantheon of literary greats.
