Bu e-kitob haqida
Perhaps all religions, unless the flaming onset of Mohammedanism be an exception, have dawned imperceptibly upon the world. A little while ago and the thing was not; and then suddenly it has been found in existence, and already in a state of diffusion. People have begun to hear of the new belief first here and then there. It is interesting, for example, to trace how Christianity drifted into the consciousness of the Roman world. But when a religion has been interrogated it has always had hitherto a tale of beginnings, the name and story of a founder. The renascent religion that is now taking shape, it seems, had no founder; it points to no origins. It is the Truth, its believers declare; it has always been here; it has always been visible to those who had eyes to see. It is perhaps plainer than it was and to more people-that is all. It is as if it still did not realise its own difference. Many of those who hold it still think of it as if it were a kind of Christianity. Some, catching at a phrase of Huxley's, speak of it as Christianity without Theology. They do not know the creed they are carrying. It has, as a matter of fact, a very fine and subtle theology, flatly opposed to any belief that could, except by great stretching of charity and the imagination, be called Christianity. (Goodreads)
Muallif haqida
Herbert George Wells, better known as H. G. Wells, was a pioneering English writer born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent. Often hailed as the "father of science fiction," Wells's imaginative works have left an indelible mark on literature and popular culture. His early life was marked by financial struggles, which fueled his voracious reading and eventual scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London, where he studied biology under T. H. Huxley.Wells's literary career took off with the publication of "The Time Machine" in 1895, introducing readers to the concept of time travel and establishing his reputation as a visionary thinker. His subsequent works, including "The War of the Worlds" and "The Invisible Man," explored themes of human nature, societal progress, and the potential perils of unchecked scientific advancement.Beyond his fiction, Wells was a fervent social commentator and advocate for progressive causes. His non-fiction works and essays addressed issues such as class disparity, education reform, and the potential for a utopian society. Wells's ideas were often controversial, challenging the status quo and sparking debates that resonated far beyond the literary world.Wells's influence extended to contemporary writers and thinkers, including George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, who grappled with similar themes of dystopia and societal critique. His foresight into technological and social changes continues to captivate modern audiences, making his works as relevant today as they were over a century ago.A complex figure, Wells's personal life was equally intriguing, marked by numerous romantic entanglements and a restless quest for intellectual and social reform. He died on August 13, 1946, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and provoke thought across generations.
