About this book
H. G. Wells's science fiction novel depicts an invasion of Earth by Martians armed with advanced weaponry, following an unnamed narrator as he witnesses the collapse of English society. Readers interested in early science fiction, Victorian literature, or invasion narratives will find it valuable. *Note: The catalogue metadata lists 1898 as the original publication date (the 2004 date and "history" subject appear to be catalogue-specific fields).*
From our reading desk Empire, Settlement, and Self-Government: A Reading List for Independence DayEight books from the collection, read in a line that runs from the machinery of empire to the arguments a new nation makes for itself.

H. G. (Herbert George) Wells

Herbert George Wells was an English writer, prolific in many genres. He wrote more than forty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells is most known today for his groundbreaking science fiction novels; he has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction", a title that has also been given to Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.
