Bøger af H. G. Wells

Un altro dei libri di Wells sulla propaganda di guerra, "e;La Guerra su Tre Fronti"e; esplora il pacifismo superficiale dell'autore che spesso maschera la sua fede nella guerra come la via migliore verso il futuro. Ricca di fotografie, tavole e altri materiali e documenti bellici, la raccolta di saggi di Wells elogia ancora una volta il socialismo dell'autore e la sua fede nell'aspetto progressista della tecnologia e della scienza. Questo lavoro non fittizio condivide idee simili con "e;What is Coming?"e; per quel che riguarda il commento di Wells sulle conseguenze della guerra. Una bella lettura per i fan di Wells e per i teorici del dopoguerra.-

"e;L'anima di un vescovo"e; e un romanzo su crisi spirituali, socialismo e religione. Attingendo fortemente al rapporto scismatico di Wells con la religione dopo la Prima Guerra Mondiale, il romanzo mette alla prova la fede di coloro che si fidano sempre meno delle credenze dogmatiche universali. Al tempo stesso mistico, religioso e carico di ingombranti intuizioni teologiche, il libro puo essere facilmente letto come un manuale di domande dell'uomo alla ricerca di Dio e dei vari modi (compresa la tossicodipendenza) attraverso i quali ci si puo avvicinare a Lui.-

L'opera dal lungo titolo di H. G. Wells, spesso abbreviata in "e;Anticipazioni"e;, riflette l'infatuazione dell'autore per lo sviluppo industriale all'inizio del XX secolo. Il libro e diventato rapidamente un bestseller, e appartiene a quelle opere di fantasia di Wells che si caratterizzano come "e;previsioni del futuro"e;, trattando temi come la religione, la guerra, i governi, e la pace universale. Organizzato in nove capitoli, il libro presenta la visione del mondo, che non e altro che un prodotto liberale e spesso ingenuo dei tempi, dell'autore in un modo ordinato, anche se a volte orribile.-

The fantasy and science-fiction stories in this early collection by H. G. Wells deal in extraordinary sarcasm, vividness, and attention to detail. The fantastic go hand in hand with the humorous, the scientific is both dangerous and wondrous, while the protagonists meddle with bacteria, ostriches, or large bat-like creatures. An interesting and thought-provoking anthology, "The Stolen Bacillus and Other Stories" is a multifarious collection that can appeal to all tastes!H. G. Wells was an English writer, remembered mostly for his science fiction works. Often described as a futurist, H. G. Wells’s influence cannot be neglected for his works foresaw many technological innovations such as space travel, the atomic bomb, and the Internet. Four times Nobel Prize in Literature nominee, Wells explored a wide array of themes in his works, occupying one of the central seats in the canon of British literature. Some of his best works include the time-travel novel "The Time Machine", the sci-fi adventure novel "The Island of Dr. Moreau", the mankind-versus-aliens novel "The War of the Worlds" and more than seventy short stories.

The novel revolves around a man from the future whose brief afternoon nap is vividly tinged with the dream he has of a man from the past. Utopian in its entirety, the book touches upon various topics like ridiculing Victorian morals and beliefs, expressing optimism towards the future, and unquestioning trust in progress as the most important feature there is. "The Dream" reads as a dream that goes both ways – towards the future and the past alike, painting a satirical picture of mankind’s absurdity and naïve optimism.H. G.

"e;Tales of Space and Time"e; is a collection of three short stories and two novellas that can easily be classified as a mixture of science fiction and fantasy. The author's vivid mind takes you to the very end of the universe and at the same time - to the very beginning of time. This constant oscillation between past, present, and future cements Wells' belief, often seasoned with some humour and satire, that human kind is much the same across different eras. The last story, for example, "e;The Man Who Could Work Miracles"e; shows how man's sloppiness can easily ruin even miracles.-

'The War of the Worlds' is H. G. Wells' most popular novel and is celebrated as one of the most influential and greatest science-fiction stories ever. Its popularity stems largely from the fact that it is one of the earliest stories dealing with an alien invasion on Earth. An army of Martians lands in England and their three-legged robots wreak havoc and destruction upon the unsuspecting civilians. The protagonist is separated from his wife during the onslaught and must defeat the invaders and find his wife. This thrilling novel features non-stop action from the start as the protagonist must journey through a nightmarish world in which aliens are not the only monsters. The novel remains timeless due to its critique of imperialism and its belief that civilisation will turn to other planets once their native resources have been plundered. Well's vivid and terrifying imagery caused widespread panic when 'The War of the Worlds' was broadcast as a radio play in 1938 as people believed the invasion was real. The novel spawned an Academy Award-nominated movie adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise in 2005. It is clear to see why 'The War of the Worlds' remains influential as it is the definition of a page-turner and should be read by fans of authors such as George Orwell or Frank Herbert.-

Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.Érase una vez el relato de un hombre con una vida muy particular, pero hombre al fin, esa es la única condición que lo dejaría vivir, de no ser por un error "humano" que lo hace extraño y temible. Sin embargo lo que para el fue una gran ventaja se torna en un tormento, la posibilidad de ver todo sin ser visto, ¿hasta donde? En apariencia no hay limites, y con todo esto el relato no parece sino el deseo de redimir aquello que hizo mal, eso que posee, para su época es un mal (no se como seria para este), porque es diferente.El hombre invisible representa todo sentimiento e inquietud por ver, escuchar, juzgar, y salir ilesos de cualquier reacción contraria a estos actos, decir que se trata algo fuera de lo normal sonaría absurdo, el curiosear se torna casi natural y necesario, se convierte en un motivo y razón para muchos. Pero la invisibilidad es algo poco "razonable" y descabellado, pero el hombre se caracteriza por adaptarse, no obstante también los problemas parecen adaptarse.Herbert George Wells (1866-1946), fue un escritor, historiador, novelista y filósofo británico. Es conocido por sus obras de ciencia ficción como La guerra de los mundos o La máquina del tiempo.

In Van ruimte en tijd zijn drie korte verhalen en twee novelles van sciencefictionschrijver H.G. Wells bijeengebracht. In deze teksten, geschreven tussen 1897 en 1899, komen allerlei buitenaardse en futuristische onderwerpen aan de orde, zoals een winkeleigenaar die een ei vindt waarmee hij op Mars kan kijken, of een liefdesverhaal uit het Londen van de 22e eeuw.De verhalen verschenen oorspronkelijk als serie in verschillende tijdschriften, en werden in deze bundel voor het eerst als geheel uitgebracht.-

In De Droom van H.G. Wells is er sprake van een raamvertelling: er wordt een verhaal in een verhaal verteld. De roman begint ergens rond het jaar 4000, en we volgen de bioloog Sarnac die op vakantie is met zijn geliefde. Als Sarnac een dutje gaat doen heeft hij een hele vreemde, uitgebreide droom. Deze droom vormt de rest van het verhaal, en volgt het volledige leven van Harry Mortimer Smith, een Engelsman die leefde aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw.Door een verhaal uit zijn eigen tijd te laten vertellen door iemand uit de verre toekomst kan Wells kritiek leveren op de aspecten van de maatschappij waarvan hij denkt dat er in de toekomst anders over wordt gedacht. Zo gaat Smith weg bij zijn vrouw omdat ze is vreemdgegaan, en vertrekt hij naar het front van de Eerste Wereldoorlog om te gaan vechten in een zinloze oorlog.-

En nat ser man noget flyve på tværs af himlen over London. Måske et stjerneskud eller en meteor, som en astronomikyndig foreslår. Derfor sætter han med det samme ud for at undersøge genstanden, som viser sig at være noget helt andet. Noget, som ingen havde regnet med. En metalcylinder, hvorfra levende væsener strømmer ud og påbegynder deres mission: En invasion, der spreder død og ødelæggelse overalt.H.G. Wells (1866-1946) var en britisk forfatter, der skrev i flere genrer, men som primært er kendt for sine bidrag inden for science fiction. Heriblandt er "Tidsmaskinen" (1895), "Den usynlige mand" (1897) og "Klodernes kamp" (1898) nogle af de mest berømte og også nogle af dem, der gentagne gange er blevet filmatiseret og været inspiration til andre forfattere og filmskabere.

Kemikeren Griffin er kendt for genialitet, men så sandelig også for sin excentricitet. Han arbejder på at opfinde et stof, der kan gøre ting usynlige. Ingen tror på, at det skal lykkes. Men pludselig virker stoffet; både på mennesker og dyr. Først gør han en kat usynlig og derefter sig selv. Mulighederne synes uendelige, men det går hurtigt op for Griffin, hvilke konsekvenser det kan have at være usynlig, og inden længe spreder han frygt og rædsel i sin lille landsby - og så går jagten på det usynlige monster...H.G.
