Despre această carte electronică
Der Krieg der Welten (engl. Originaltitel: The War of the Worlds) ist eines der bekanntesten und bedeutendsten Werke von H. G. Wells. In diesem 1898 erschienenen, für die Science-Fiction-Literatur grundlegenden Werk von H. G. Wells greifen Marsianer in dreibeinigen Kampfmaschinen das Vereinigte Königreich an, um von hier aus die rohstoff- und wasserreiche Erde zu erobern. Das irdische Militär ist den außerirdischen Invasoren hoffnungslos unterlegen und muss bei der Zerstörung der Städte zusehen. Erst die Bakterien der Erde können die Marsianer durch deren nicht angepasstes Immunsystem besiegen. Krieg der Welten war als Satire auf die Kolonialpolitik des Empires angelegt und vertauschte hierzu die Rollen von Eroberern und Opfern zu Ungunsten der Briten. Ein zusätzlich böser Seitenhieb war die Tatsache, dass die primitivsten damals bekannten Lebensformen das britische Weltreich retteten.
Despre autor
Herbert George Wells, commonly known as H.G. Wells, was a visionary English writer born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent. Often hailed as the "father of science fiction," Wells's prolific career spanned various genres, including social commentary, history, and even utopian fiction. His works are renowned for their prescient insights into future technologies and societal changes, making him a cornerstone of speculative fiction.Wells's early life was marked by financial hardship, which fueled his voracious reading and self-education. He won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London, where he studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley, a staunch advocate of Darwinism. This scientific background profoundly influenced his writing, imbuing his narratives with a sense of realism and plausibility.Wells was not just a storyteller but also a social critic and a forward-thinking intellectual. He championed progressive causes such as socialism, women's rights, and global peace, often weaving these themes into his fiction. His controversial ideas sometimes put him at odds with contemporaries, yet they also cemented his reputation as a radical thinker.Wells's influence extends far beyond literature. His imaginative visions of time travel, alien invasions, and advanced technologies have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and scientists. His works have sparked dialogues about ethics, humanity's future, and the potential consequences of scientific advancements.Despite his literary success, Wells's personal life was tumultuous, marked by numerous affairs and complex relationships. Yet, his enduring legacy lies in his ability to challenge readers to envision the possibilities and perils of the future, making him a timeless figure in both literary and cultural history.
