लेखक के बारे में
H.G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England, and deceased on August 13, 1946, in London, was a prolific English writer in various genres, including the novel, history, politics, and social commentary, with a substantial contribution to English literature through his works of science fiction. His literary style often embraces the speculative fiction realm, drawing imaginatively on the contemporary concerns of his era to create compelling narratives that intertwine with futuristical elements. One of his profoundly engaging novels, ‘The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth’ (1904), explores the consequences of an experiment that leads to the growth of exponentially large animals and plants, posing ethical and societal challenges – a theme that resonates with Wells’s perennial interest in the potential ramifications of scientific advancements. Notable among his writings are classics such as ‘The War of the Worlds’ (1898), ‘The Time Machine’ (1895), and ‘The Invisible Man’ (1897), which have marked him as a forefather of modern science fiction. His sharp insight into the human condition, intertwined with a visionary view of the possible future, has made his work a source of scholarly study and has profoundly influenced not only literary contemporaries but also subsequent generations of science fiction writers.
