Produktinformationen zu „The War of the Worlds (World Digital Library Edition) (PDF)“
When Orson Welles first read The War of the Worlds on broadcast radio in 1938 listeners far and wide panicked. H. G. Wells’ consuming account of Martians landing on Earth and obliterating everything in sight sounded all too plausible. The issues Wells explores of man’s place in the universe remain startlingly pertinent in today’s technological age of space tourists, video-game-like combat, and cloning. In fact, given The War of the Worlds’s high-tech scenario it only seems appropriate to read this science fiction classic in eBook format.
Autoren-Porträt von H. G. Wells
Herbert George Wells, the godfather of science fiction, was born into a decidedly middle-class family on September 21, 1866, in the London borough of Bromley. Central to the experiences of his youth was an acute awareness of class structure that was emphasized by the position of his family in the class-conscious English society of the time. Wells never forgot the hardships of his origin and wrote with the common man in mind. He helped develop the League of Nations and was continually involved with questions of social reform. During the Second World War he created the first draft of what would become the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. He died in London on August 13, 1946.Barnes & Noble World Digital Library also offers the must-read Wells creations The Time Machine, A Modern Utopia, and The Outline of History.
