The success of his early, highly imaginative novels, including The Time Machine (1895) and The War of the Worlds (1898), brought HG Wells international fame as a futurist. This biography focuses on the first four decades of his life, when, despite serious ill health and complicated marriages, Wells’ determination to study science, his passionate interest in socialism and friendships with literary figures contributed to his spectacular rise from humble origins. Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
