Books by H. G. Wells

Herbert George Wells is a literary giant of English literature. No field of writing was foreign to him. He was one of the foremost thinkers of his time, and his works included excursions into history, social science, commentary, futurism and so on. His fiction is held up as examples of English literature at its finest, and many have suggested Wells' The Time Machine is the best short novel ever written, and his "Country of the Blind" is the best short story.

But today, Wells is primarily known for his futuristic fiction. His landmark book is War of the Worlds, an epic tale of technically advanced Martians invading Victorian England and virtually conquering civilization. The Island of Dr. Moreau demonstrates the folly of science taken too far. First Men in the Moon is a cautionary tale of mankind making first contact with another alien race. The Invisible Man shows that science has its limits. When the Sleeper Wakes is a forceful adventure of the future.

Wells is considered the father of modern social science fiction -- that sub-genre dealing with the effects of technology upon mankind and civilization. But his works are more than mere science fiction -- they are outstanding examples of literature.
