Обкладинка H. G. Wells: This Misery of Boots (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

In this short tract, published by the Fabian Society in 1907, Wells relates a conversation with a friend on the poor quality of boots worn by the working class. He uses the example as a springboard to condemn private property and imperialism, advocate socialism, and forecast a revolutionary break with history.

Про автора

H. G. Wells (1866–1946), is often called the “Father of Science Fiction.” While science fiction was his most popular genre, Wells also wrote on history, politics, and made social commentary. His “scientific romances” speculated about the future, scientific advancements, and outer space. His works include The Time Machine, and The War of the Worlds.
