Science Fiction by H G Wells
Written in the age of technological revolution,the novels included in this edition combine the mundane with the extraordinary to unnerving effect:the pre dictions of H G Wells fiction have often already become our late twentieth- century facts.
HG Wells was born in Bromley, Kent in 1866. After working as a draper's apprentice and pupil-teacher, he won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in 1884, studying under T H Huxley. He was awarded a first-class honours degree in biology and resumed teaching but had to retire after a kick from an ill-natured pupil afflicted his kidneys. He worked in poverty in London as a crammer while experimenting in journalism and stories. It was with The Time Machine (1895) that he had his real breakthrough.
