Sobre o autor
Herbert George Wells, known commonly as H. G. Wells, was born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England. As an author, he was instrumental in shaping the science fiction genre, interweaving imaginative narratives with progressive social and scientific ideas. Wells’s education in biology at the Normal School of Science under T.H. Huxley, a prominent Darwinian, influenced his scientific perspective and thematic exploration of evolution and ethics in his works. Wells’s prolific career includes seminal novels such as ‘The Time Machine’ (1895), ‘War of the Worlds’ (1898), and ‘The Invisible Man’ (Complete Edition). ‘The Invisible Man’ stands as a hallmark of early science fiction where Wells examines the human condition, power, and identity through the story of a scientist named Griffin, who discovers a means to become invisible but faces unforeseen consequences. Wells’s narrative style is defined by its vivid imagination, foresight into the ramifications of science and technology, and underlying socio-political critique. His literary influence extends well beyond his lifetime, propelling Wells into the status of one of the ‘fathers of science fiction’. His works maintain relevance as they continue to provoke thought on technological advancement and human values. Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, leaving behind a legacy as a visionary thinker and writer.
