H. G. Wells was perhaps best known as the author of such classic works of science fiction as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds. But it was in his short stories, written when he was a young man embarking on a literary career, that he first explored the enormous potential of the scientific discoveries of the day. He described his stories as "a miscellany of inventions," yet his enthusiasm for science was tempered by an awareness of its horrifying destructive powers and the threat it could pose to the human race. A consummate storyteller, he made fantastic creatures and machines entirely believable; and, by placing ordinary men and women in extraordinary situations, he explored, with humor, what it means to be alive in a century of rapid scientific progress.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) foi um escritor e jornalista profissional que publicou mais de uma centena de livros, incluindo romances pioneiros de ficção científica, histórias, ensaios e programas para a regeneração mundial. Foi membro fundador de numerosos movimentos, incluindo o Liberty e o PEN International – a organização de direitos humanos mais antiga do mundo –, e o seu Os Direitos do Homem lançou as bases para a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, de 1948. As opiniões controversas e progressistas de Wells sobre a igualdade e a forma de uma nação verdadeiramente desenvolvida continuam a ser diretamente relevantes para o nosso mundo de hoje. Wells foi, nas palavras de Bertrand Russell, «um importante libertador do pensamento e da ação». Apesar de ser mais lembrado pelos seus romances inovadores de ficção científica, incluindo A Máquina do Tempo, A Guerra dos Mundos, O Homem Invisível e A Ilha do Doutor Moreau, Wells também escreveu extensamente sobre história, política e assuntos sociais e foi um dos maiores intelectuais da sua época.
