These visions seem to be glimpses into the future, detailing events that will occur on Earth for the next two hundred...

A story of our planet and humankind. From the origins of the earth to the founding of the League of Nations.Wells wrote this short version of "The Outline of History" to, in his own words "meet the needs of the busy general reader".

« M. Smallways faisait cette remarque longtemps avant le début de la guerre dans les airs, accoté contre la palissade, au bout de son jardin, et, d’un regard qui n’exprimait ni louange ni blâme, il contemplait la vaste usine à gaz de Bun Hill. Au-dessus des gazomètres pressés les uns contre...

As the Great War raged along in 1916, Wells turned his prophetic eye towards the future. Topics considered include the law, the media, the new map of Europe; the roles of the United States, Russia, and France; the outlook for Germany, the “white man’s burden,” and the prospects for European socialism.

"The War in the Air" is a story of the awful devastation following a conflict between two first-class powers with the resources of the air at their command. It is one of the most brilliant and successful of Mr. Wells's studies in futurity.

In this short tract, published by the Fabian Society in 1907, Wells relates a conversation with a friend on the poor quality of boots worn by the working class.

Decide di abbandonare la chiesa e di dedicarsi a una sorta di predicazione millenaristica; scelta...

The book readdresses the idea of the existence of Martians, famously written about in The War of the Worlds (1898). The dialog of Star-Begotten makes brief cursory references Wells's earlier novel The War of the Worlds, referring to it as having been written by "Conan Doyle or one of those people"....

In New Worlds for Old, Wells examines the basics of socialist thought and theory, and looks at the differences between existing philosophies within socialism. Because he personally witnessed socialist movements in both America and England, this account is particularly thought-provoking.

Mr. Wells claims the name of socialist without blindly subscribing to the programme of any present form of socialistic theory. He aims in this book (which is not a novel) to set forth the principles upon which socialism resets.
