Book excerpt: annotations This book is unique because it contains: -a literary criticism when analyzing and reading the entire book elaborated by Lina MedinaLiterary criticism of the book: The War of the WorldsMars is an old acquaintance of mankind, documented from Ancient Egypt more than 3,500 years ago. But it was after the invention of the telescope in the seventeenth century that astronomers began to understand that this planet shared much in common with ours, such as polar ice caps, winters and summers, and a physiognomy that could easily be interpreted as a version of Earth turned red and therefore, with its seas and continents. How can we not imagine that on the other side of the space there would also be someone watching us?In the 19th century, even reputed scientists admitted the possibility of life on Mars, imagined as a minor twin of Earth. Thus, it was not shocking that when, on August 2, 1894, the journal Nature published a brief article reporting a strange "luminous projection" on the border between light and shadow on the surface of Mars, the anonymous author of the text suggested that the This phenomenon would rekindle "the old idea that the Martians are signaling us."The British biologist and author of 'The war of the worlds', Herbert George Wells.That article did not go unnoticed by a young writer, a British biologist named Herbert George Wells (September 21, 1866 - August 13, 1946) who followed with interest the advances of his time. According to OpenMind tells the professor emeritus of International History of the Kingston University of London (United Kingdom) Peter Beck, author of the new book The War of the Worlds: From HG Wells to Orson Welles, Jeff Wayne, Steven Spielberg and Beyond (Bloomsbury Publishing, 2016), in October 1888 Wells participated in a student debate in which he defended the idea that "there were all the reasons to suppose that the surface of Mars was occupied by living beings."Add to this the impression that Wells had produced the industrial landscape of the foundries of Staffordshire and a conversation he had with his brother about a hypothetical alien invasion; The result of this cocktail was The War of the Worlds (1898), in which Wells allowed himself the petty evil of killing his Woking neighbors in "painful and eccentric" ways, he wrote in a letter. In the novel, the lights described in Nature, actually an optical effect, were the flashes of the huge cannon that fired the Martian ships towards Earth.Some of the covers with which appeared the work 'The war of the worlds'. Credit: Wikimedia CommonsThe war of the worlds has lasted until today as the paradigmatic novel of the alien invasion. And the truth is that, for the vision of the time, there was a reason for so much hostility: envy of our warm and humid world on the part of the inhabitants of a dying planet. The astronomer Percival Lowell postulated the existence of artificial channels on Mars, built to irrigate their great deserts with their dwindling water reserves. Lowell relied on the observations of the Italian Giovanni Schiaparelli, who had described rectilinear formations on Mars. In his novel, Wells mentioned Schiaparelli, but not Lowell; the invasion of the war of the worlds was not motivated by desertification, but by the progressive cooling of Mars. But had Wells read Lowell? "I understand that there is still debate about it," says Beck.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants." At first, they were just a joke, feeble blobs barely able to move in the oppressive gravity of Earth. Within days, they had become the single biggest threat in the history of humanity. When H.G. Wells penned The War of the Worlds in 1898, London was the center of the known human universe; Wells' dark novel sets about destroying civilization by striking at it's most glorious and shining city, at a time when man was decades away from space travel. The swift and terrible attacks of the Martians lay waste to the technological firepower of the esteemed British military, and the populace shifts from apathetic ambivalence to panic. Not just a science fiction tale, Wells' story takes to task the easy, taken-for-granted lives of the citizens of a superpower, and his themes still ring true over a century later. Follow the harrowing flight of the narrator as he scraps and claws for survival as the human race is swept aside by ruthless invaders; His life quickly devolves to that of an animal, hiding and cowering in the dank rubble of a ruined city. The invaders are advanced and merciless; they decimate the armies with "heat rays" and blast toxic "black death" into the choked streets of London. No one is safe. Wells' bleak masterpiece is essential reading; it laid the groundwork for thousands of stories which followed.
