Autorenporträt
H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer of novels, short stories, history, social criticism, and biography. With Jules Verne, he is considered the "father of science fiction" and thought by many to be the most distinct mythmaker of his time. He envisioned such things as time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, biological engineering, and cosmic threats long before they existed or were conceived of by others. In addition to enjoying popular success, Wells was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times. He died in London, England, on August 13, 1946, at the age of seventy-nine.
