Pendrick, a British scientist, is shipwrecked--and by chance finds himself on an isolated island where Dr. Moreau and his assistant Montgomery are engaged in a series of experiments. They are attempting to transform animals into manlike beings.Wells, a social reformer, was a very didactic wri...

Wells, best known for his War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man, offers eight short stories in this volume.These eight stories were better than I remembered them. In these stories, Wells wrote mainly about the time he lived in, and he is very capable of bringing the reader back to the time and helping them to see just what it was like. From a historical perspective, fascinating.The plots are intriguing, and the characters are believable. Unlike Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who...

Although best known for his scientific romances that paved the way for the modern science fiction genre, H. G. Wells (1866-1946) produced significant works on politics, society, science and history.

When frustrated in his efforts to restore himself to visibility, he determines to embark upon a reign of terror that will make him master of the world.

H.G. Wells is perhaps one of the greatest modern writers, and his stunning book When The Sleeper Wakes is the embodiment of his incredible prohpetic writing.This is an essential book, if for no other reason than its frighteningly close-to-home predictions of the future. The story follows a modern day Rumplestiltskin, named Graham, after he sleeps a couple of centuries and wakes up to find himself owner of over half of the earth.The story itself is well-crafted, as Wells dem...
