Sometimes called “the Father of Science Fiction” (alongside greats such as Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback), H. G. Wells played a pivotal role in shaping the science fiction world. Over the decades, science fiction pioneers have paid homage to Wells, alluding to his works and often even including him as a character. Wells’ wealth of writings grappled with England’s scientific, ethical, and political issues, confronting the reality he inhabited with the realities he constructed.
The Select Works of H. G. Wells collection contains four of his best-known novels—The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The Island of Doctor Moreau—as well as a collection of 30 short stories. Fans of science fiction and lovers of literature will enjoy these classic works.
