Sobre el autor
H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Kent, England, was a prolific writer best known for his works in the science fiction genre. His literary career spanned four decades, during which he produced a vast array of novels, short stories, nonfiction essays, and social commentaries. Known as a futurist and a social reformist, Wells’s narratives often delved into themes of science, progress, and the human condition, earning him the distinction of being one of the ‘fathers of science fiction, ‘ alongside peers such as Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.
Wells’s seminal works include ‘The Time Machine’ (1895), which introduced readers to the concept of time travel; ‘The War of the Worlds’ (1898), which explored the ideas of extraterrestrial invasion and interplanetary conflict; and ‘The Invisible Man’ (1897), which dealt with themes of invisibility and ethics in science. These novels, and others such as ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ (1896), redefined the parameters of speculative fiction and have remained enduring classics in the genre. In addition to fiction, Wells also wrote on politics, history, and social theory, demonstrating a keen insight into the challenges of modernity.
Wells’s contribution to literature extends beyond his foresight in envisioning futuristic scenarios; his works also critically engaged with the social issues of his time, advocating for a more egalitarian and scientifically driven society. His influence has persisted well into the 21st century, reflected in the countless adaptations of his stories in every form of media. Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, but his legacy endures in his thought-provoking and imaginative works that continue to captivate audiences around the world.
