O ovoj e-knjizi
A monoplane falling out of the sky on a hot afternoon can shatter the leisurely peace of a croquet game below. And an injured aviator like Geoffrey Trafford can quite disrupt the calm of a girl like Marjorie Pope. All obstacles - her modern views, her socialism, her cool engagement to the worldly Mr Magnet - are swept away; and, as in every misguided fairy tale, 'the poor dears haven't the shadow of a doubt they will live happily ever after'. Written when Wells himself was caught in the entanglements of home and sex, this funny, utterly engrossing novel, shows him grappling with a perennial question; how can a marriage survive, when conventions stifle, when men and women want different things, when passions fade? Ironically, the answer he came to led to his meeting with an enraged young reviewer, Rebecca West - a collision as devastating as the plane crash in the rectory garden.
O autoru
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.
