Wells en traducción del escritor español Ramiro de Maeztu (1874-1936), miembro de la generación del 98. «Nadie hubiera creído en los últimos años del siglo XIX que las cosas humanas fueran escudriñadas aguda y atentamente por inteligencias superiores a la del hombre y mortales, sin embargo, como la de este; que mientras los hombres se afanaban en sus asuntos fuesen examinados y estudiados casi de tan cerca como pueden serlo en el microscopio las transitorias criaturas que pululan y se multiplican en una gota de agua.» H. G. Wells (1866-1946), novelista, historiador y filósofo británico, fue autor de obras de culto como La máquina del tiempo, El hombre invisible y La guerra de los mundos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘The War of the Worlds’ is H. G. Wells’ most popular novel and is celebrated as one of the most influential and greatest science-fiction stories ever. Its popularity stems largely from the fact that it is one of the earliest stories dealing with an alien invasion on Earth. An army of Martians lands in England and their three-legged robots wreak havoc and destruction upon the unsuspecting civilians. The protagonist is separated from his wife during the onslaught and must defeat the invaders and find his wife. This thrilling novel features non-stop action from the start as the protagonist must journey through a nightmarish world in which aliens are not the only monsters. The novel remains timeless due to its critique of imperialism and its belief that civilisation will turn to other planets once their native resources have been plundered. Well’s vivid and terrifying imagery caused widespread panic when ‘The War of the Worlds’ was broadcast as a radio play in 1938 as people believed the invasion was real. The novel spawned an Academy Award-nominated movie adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise in 2005. It is clear to see why ‘The War of the Worlds’ remains influential as it is the definition of a page-turner and should be read by fans of authors such as George Orwell or Frank Herbert. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a celebrated English writer, remembered mostly for his science fiction works. Often described as a futurist, H. G. Wells’ influence cannot be overstated for his works foresaw many technological innovations such as space travel, the atomic bomb, and the Internet. A four-time Nobel Prize in Literature nominee, Wells explored a wide array of themes in his works, from religion to social criticism and beyond. Some of his best works include the time-travel novel ‘The Time Machine’, the sci-fi adventure novel ‘The Island of Dr. Moreau’, and the mankind-versus-aliens novel ‘The War of the Worlds’. Wells occupies one of the central seats in the canon of science-fiction literature and his writing inspired other celebrated authors such as Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick.

Book excerpt: E se você percebesse o quão confortável estava com sua vida chata e cotidiana somente após um fim violento? E se alienígenas e vida extraterrestre em Marte não estivessem mais confinados apenas em filmes e fóruns de teorias conspiratórias, mas estivessem bem na sua porta? Guerra dos Mundos não é apenas mais uma história de invasão alienígena, mas é a primeira do seu tipo e supera em muito a qualidade de todas as suas sucessoras. H. G. Wells fala dos medos de sua época, de que uma força alienígena avançada pudesse esmagar a raça humana, assim como a Grã-Bretanha Imperial havia esmagado as forças da Tasmânia. Jornais relataram uma nave espacial que irrompeu da superfície de Marte, até que, dias depois, ela cai nos arredores da cidade natal de Wells. Espera-se que esses "visitantes" sejam pacíficos - uma esperança que se dissolve muito rapidamente. Sua tecnologia é muito superior às das conquistas da humanidade, deixando o exército completamente impotente para combatê-los. Em questão de dias, os marcianos levam a civilização a seus joelhos.

Download or read book The Reception of H G Wells in Europe written by Patrick Parrinder and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.G. Wells was described by one of his European critics as a 'seismograph of his age'. He is one of the founding fathers of modern science fiction, and as a novelist, essayist, educationalist and political propagandist his influence has been felt in every European country. This collection of essays by scholarly experts shows the varied and dramatic nature of Wells's reception, including translations, critical appraisals, novels and films on Wellsian themes, and responses to his own well-publicized visits to Russia and elsewhere. The authors chart the intense ideological debate that his writings occasioned, particularly in the inter-war years, and the censorship of his books in Nazi Germany and Francoist Spain. This book offers pioneering insights into Wells's contribution to 20th century European literature and to modern political ideas, including the idea of European union. Reception of H.G.
