作者简介
Herbert George Wells, known by his pen name H. G. Wells, was a prolific English writer born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent. Wells is considered to be a father of science fiction, alongside contemporaries such as Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. He studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley and his scientific background informed much of his literary output, giving his works a sense of realism that helped popularize the science fiction genre. Wells's writing was not confined to any single genre, and 'Marriage' (1912) stands as a testament to his versatility. This novel, less known than his science fiction masterpieces, delves into the complexities of matrimony, examining the struggles between personal desires and societal expectations. Though it did not gain the same acclaim as 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), 'The Time Machine' (1895), or 'The Invisible Man' (1897), 'Marriage' offers insight into Wells's reflections on social and moral issues of his time. Beyond fiction, Wells also wrote on politics, history, and social commentary, making substantial contributions to the literary and intellectual landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His forward-thinking views on social reform, as seen in works like 'Anticipations' (1901), engaged readers with speculative considerations of the future. H. G. Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, leaving behind a legacy of over fifty novels and countless short stories, essays, and non-fiction works that continue to influence the science fiction genre and literary canon.
