Autor

Herbert George Wells, better known as H.G. Wells (1866-1946), was a prolific English writer who is best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre. His innovative works, which include classics such as 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), and 'The Invisible Man' (1897), have made him one of the fathers of science fiction. Wells' writing was distinguished by its forward-thinking and often prophetic visions of the future, combined with astute social commentary, which has made his work resonate well beyond their original publication dates. Not restricted to the realm of science fiction, Wells also penned a variety of social novels and works of non-fiction. One significant non-fiction work is 'A Short History of the World' (1922), which illustrates his broad range of interests and expertise, providing a concise and accessible overview of world history. It showcases Wells' gift for clear, narrative prose, as well as his ability to synthesize and present complex information in an engaging manner. Throughout his career, Wells sought to educate and provoke thought amongst his readers, using his literary skills to critique and examine the society in which he lived. His literature remains a critical influence in both the science fiction genre and broader literary circles.
