The H. G. Wells Collection includes five novels; The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, and The First Men in the Moon. H. G. Wells is credited with the popularisation of time travel in 1895 with The Time Machine, introducing the idea of time being the "fourth dimension" a decade before the publication of Einstein''s first Relativity papers. In 1896, he imagined a mad scientist creating human-like beings from animals in The Island of Doctor Moreau, which created a growing interest in animal welfare throughout Europe. In 1897 with The Invisible Man, Wells shows how a formula could render one invisible, recognizing that an invisible eye would not be able to focus, thus rendering the invisible man blind. With The War of the Worlds in 1898, Wells established the idea that an advanced civilization could live on Mars, popularising the term ''martian'' and the idea that aliens could invade Earth. With The First Men in the Moon, Wells developed antigravity, a development that we are still dreaming about to this day.

H. G. Wells Jahrhundertroman "Die Zeitmaschine", ein Klassiker der Science Fiction Literatur, als Fremdsprachentext im englischen Original. Völlig erschöpft und ramponiert erscheint der Zeitreisende vor seinen Gästen und erzählt von unglaublichen Erlebnissen. Mit seiner Zeitmaschine war er 800.000 Jahre in die Zukunft gereist und den Nachkommen der Menschen begegnet. Die friedvolle Idylle der ''Eloi'' erwies sich ihm jedoch bald als ein Freigehege voller Tod und Gefahren. Mit seinem Roman »Die Zeitmaschine« bereitete H.G. Wells den Weg für die moderne Science Fiction Literatur und vermachte seinen Nachfolgern heute unsterblich gewordene Ideen, Themen und Motive. Als scharfsichtiger Beobachter seiner Zeit, die von scheinbar grenzenlosem Fortschritt und Erkenntnisgewinn bestimmt war, übt er Kritik an politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Verhältnissen und betrachtet die Auswirkungen gegenwärtiger Fehlentwicklungen in der Zukunft. »Die Zeitmaschine« ist eine in Unterhaltung verpackte Parabel, ein zeitloser Klassiker der Endzeit-Literatur, der auch heute noch die Leser in den Bann zieht. ---- The Time Traveler appears exhausted and battered in front of his guests. As he talks about his experiences, hardly anyone believes him: With his time machine he had travelled 800,000 years into the future and met the descendants of human beings. The ''Eloi'' seems to live without need, worry, and fear. But during his stay the Time Traveler discovered that the Eloi are only one side of the coin. With his novel "The Time Machine" H. G. Wells paved the way for modern science fiction literature. He bequeathed ideas, themes, and motifs that have become immortal to his successors. As a sharp-sighted observer of his time, which was determined by the seemingly limitless progress and gain of knowledge, he criticized political, economic and social conditions, and considered the effects of undesirable developments in the future. "The Time Machine" is a parable packaged in entertainment, a classic of end-time literature that still thrills today.

Wells "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" is a British fantasy comedy story by H. G. Wells first published in 1898. Plot Summary: In an English public house, George McWhirter Fotheringay vigorously asserts the impossibility of miracles during an argument. By way of demonstration, Fotheringay commands an oil lamp to flame upside down and it does so, to his own astonishment. His acquaintances think it a trick and quickly dismiss it, but Fotheringay continues to use his new power for other petty deeds. After magically accomplishing his daily chores as an office clerk, Fotheringay quits early to a park to practise further. He encounters a local constable, who is accidentally injured. In the ensuing altercation, Fotheringay unintentionally sends the policeman to Hades; hours later, Fotheringay relocates him safely to San Francisco. Unnerved by these miracles, Fotheringay attends local Sunday church services. The clergyman, Mr. Maydig, preaches about unnatural occurrences. Fotheringay is deeply moved, and meets Maydig in his quarters for advice. After a few petty demonstrations, the priest becomes enthusiastic and suggests that Fotheringay should use these abilities to benefit others. That night they walk the town streets, healing illness and vice and improving public works.

The Island of Doctor Moreau By H. G. Wells. The Island of Doctor Moreau is an 1896 science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells. The text of the novel is the narration of Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked man rescued by a passing boat who is left on the island home of Doctor Moreau, who creates human-like hybrid beings from animals via vivisection. The novel deals with a number of philosophical themes, including pain and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity, and human interference with nature. Wells described the novel as "an exercise in youthful blasphemy." The Island of Doctor Moreau is a classic of early science fiction and remains one of Wells''s best-known books, and has been adapted to film and other media on many occasions.

Herbert George Wells was born on September 21st, 1866 at Atlas House, 46 High Street, Bromley, Kent. He was the youngest of four siblings and his family affectionately knew him as ''Bertie''. The first few years of his childhood were spent fairly quietly, and Wells didn''t display much literary interest until, in 1874, he accidentally broke his leg and was left to recover in bed, largely entertained by the library books his father regularly brought him. Through these Wells found he could escape the boredom and misery of his bed and convalescence by exploring the new worlds he encountered in these books. From these humble beginnings began a career that was, after several delays, to be seen as one of the most brilliant of modern English writers. Able to write comfortably in a number of genres he was especially applauded for his science fiction works such as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds, but his forays into the social conditions of the times, with classics such as Kipps, were almost as commercially successful. His short stories are miniature masterpieces many of which bring new and incredible ideas of science fiction to the edge of present day science fact. Wells also received four nominations for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Despite a strong and lasting second marriage his affairs with other women also brought the complications of fathering other children. His writings and work against fascism, as well as the promotion of socialism, brought him into increasing doubts with and opposition to religion. His writings on what the world could be, in works such as A Modern Utopia, are thought provoking as well as being plausible, especially when viewed from the distressing times they were written in. His diabetic condition pushed him to create what is now the largest Diabetes charity in the United Kingdom. Wells even found the time to run twice for Parliament. It was a long, distinguished and powerfully successful career by the time he died, aged 79, on August 13th, 1946.
