{"product_id":"the-selected-works-of-h-g-wells","title":"Hg Wells: The Selected Works of H.G. Wells [2017] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eH. G. Wells is often referred to as `the father of science fiction' and this compendium of his stories contains two of his most well-known works in the genre, \u003cem\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/em\u003e (1895) and \u003cem\u003eThe War of the Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e (1897). In addition, the reader is treated to some stories of truly extraordinary dimensions: \u003cem\u003eThe Island of Doctor Moreau\u003c\/em\u003e (1896), \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Man\u003c\/em\u003e (1897), \u003cem\u003eWhen the Sleeper Wakes\u003c\/em\u003e (1899), \u003cem\u003eThe First Men in the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e (1901) and \u003cem\u003eThe Food of the Gods and How it came to Earth\u003c\/em\u003e (1904). But Wells's phenomenal imagination ranged far and wide and thus we have included here two works of comic social realism, \u003cem\u003eKipps\u003c\/em\u003e (1905) and \u003cem\u003eThe History of Mr. Polly\u003c\/em\u003e (1910), stories that resound with Edwardian dreams, frustrations and triumphs. Wells is such a brilliant storyteller that well over a century after their publication, all of these texts are as fresh and compelling to us today as they would have been when his initial readers first turned their pages, often in astonishment and frequently in amusement. This is certainly a collection of the very best of H.G. Wells and we encourage you to devour them, and above all to enjoy the mercurial talent of this most original and precocious writer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wells, Hg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46490348290387,"sku":"9781840227451","price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/products\/wells-hg-the-selected-works-of-h-g-wells-9781840227451-48980007059795.jpg?v=1680635321","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/the-selected-works-of-h-g-wells","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
