H G Wells

Opis

H.G. Wells' classic tale of the dangers of science describes a man cast out from society by his own terrifying discovery. A brilliant scientist, obsessed with achieving invisibility, he is prepared to do anything to protect his discovery, and terrorizes the village where he has sought refuge in the process.

O autorze

H.G. Wells was a professional writer and journalist who published more than a hundred books, including pioneering science fiction novels, histories, essays and programmes for world regeneration. He was a founding member of numerous movements including Liberty and PEN International - the world's oldest human rights organization - and his Rights of Man laid the groundwork for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wells' controversial and progressive views on equality and the shape of a truly developed nation remain directly relevant to our world today. He was, in Bertrand Russell's words, 'an important liberator of thought and action'.
