Quelques mots sur l'auteur
H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England, was a prolific writer, best known for his contributions to the science fiction genre. His tales of time travel, alien invasion, and scientific progress gone awry captured the imaginations of readers worldwide and remain enduring classics of the genre. Despite a modest upbringing and intermittent education, Wells's fascination with literature and science propelled him to the forefront of speculative fiction. His seminal works include 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The Invisible Man' (1897), and 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), which not only established common science fiction tropes but also critiqued Victorian society. Alongside his fiction, Wells was a committed sociopolitical commentator, as manifested in 'The War That Will End War' (1914). This particular work showcases Wells's ardent belief in liberal and humanist ideals, and his conviction that the horrors of World War I presented an imperative for societal reform and the end of militarism. His advocacy for a restructured global order also led him to pen 'The New World Order' (1940) and 'The Rights of Man' (1940), reflecting his enduring hope for a future fueled by enlightenment and peace. H. G. Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, but his literary legacy, marked by foresight and an unwavering concern for humanity's future, continues to resonate and inspire.
