Critics Review
“The creations of Mr. Wells … belong unreservedly to an age and degree of scientific knowledge far removed from the present, though I will not say entirely beyond the limits of the possible.” –Jules Verne
About The Author
H.G. Wells
Herbert George Wells’s (1866-1946) career as an author was fostered by a childhood mishap. He broke his leg and spent his convalescence reading every book he could find. Wells earned a scholarship at the Norman School of Science in London. Wells’s “science fiction” (although he never called it such) was influenced by his interest in biology. H. G. Wells gained fame with his first novel, “The Time Machine (1895).” He followed this with “The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), ” and “The War Of The Worlds (1898).”
