À propos de l'auteur

H.G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England, was a prolific writer whose work spanned multiple genres, including science fiction, social commentary, and history. Wells is often heralded as a father of science fiction, alongside contemporaries such as Jules Verne. He earned a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London, studying under T.H. Huxley, which influenced his scientific perspective that permeates his literature. His literary breakthrough came with "The Time Machine" (1895), which set the standards for time travel as a serious theme in science fiction. Wells's writing is characterized by its forward-thinking imagination and insightful exploration of social issues and future possibilities. Other notable works by Wells include "The War of the Worlds" (1898) where he envisaged interplanetary conflict; "The Invisible Man" (1897), a tale of science gone awry; and "The Island of Doctor Moreau" (1896), which delves into the ethics of scientific experimentation. His collection, 'The Collected Works,' embodies the breadth and scope of his writing talent. Wells also penned non-fiction, including a widely-read history book, 'The Outline of History' (1920). This author's dynamic capacity to intertwine speculative fiction with topical concerns of his era not only entertained but also provoked thought about humanity's future. When H.G. Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, he left behind a legacy that profoundly influenced both literature and the way we envisage the unknown.
