Wells","description":"Written at a time when much of the world remained hidden and mysterious - when remote islands, unexplored jungles, and the depths of the ocean still held new and unenvisioned possibilities - these tales combine the everyday with the otherworldly in a way that is rarely found in more recent imaginative fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H.

G. Wells (1866-1946) was, more than anyone else, the father of modern science fiction. As the author of The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds and The Island of Dr. Moreau, he was also, according to many, its greatest writer. A pessimist by nature, Wells is known for having predicted such things as aerial warfare and atomic weapons decades before their development, and in addition to science fiction, published works on history, politics, contemporary fiction, and even a textbook on biology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parthenon Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40265562030195,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_bfd72695-5612-4200-8450-4002fdfaa9e5.jpg?v=1657720851","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-best-short-stories-of-hg-wells-9780692540138","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
