เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England, remains one of the most influential figures in science fiction. His career as an author was diverse, including works spanning science fiction, realistic fiction, and social commentary. Wells attended the Normal School of Science in London, studying biology under Thomas Huxley, which greatly influenced his scientific perspective ingrained in his literary works. Best known for his science fiction novels like ‘The Time Machine’ (1895), ‘The War of the Worlds’ (1898), and ‘The Invisible Man’ (1897), Wells is often called a father of science fiction, alongside contemporaries such as Jules Verne. ‘Meanwhile: The Picture of a Lady’ is among his later novels, showcasing a more introspective and personal style, reflecting the evolution of his writing from the fantastical to the reflective examination of human nature and society. His literature often combined his astute foresight regarding the future of humanity with a critical analysis of the social issues of his time, predictions of technological advancement, and a perennial quest for social reform. Wells’s contribution to literature was both profound and far-reaching, having laid the groundwork for generations of speculative fiction writers. He died on August 13, 1946, but left an enduring legacy with his richly imaginative and thought-provoking works.
