H.G. Wells -More Selected Short Stories

H.G. Wells is widely regarded as one of the most imaginative and visionary writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Best known for his groundbreaking science fiction novels like The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine, Wells was also a prolific short story writer, producing a diverse body of work that explored many of the same themes as his longer novels: the wonders and perils of scientific progress, the mysteries of the human mind, and the complex relationship between society and the individual. Wells’ short stories, though perhaps less celebrated than his novels, serve as a window into his vast intellectual curiosity and creative range. These stories often play with speculative ideas in compact, inventive ways, offering a glimpse of his talent for combining narrative flair with philosophical inquiry. In these pages, the reader will find tales of strange inventions, eerie encounters, and dystopian visions, all of which reflect Wells’ keen interest in the future of humanity and the ethical dilemmas that arise with technological advancement.
