Wells' 'The Sleeper Awakes' is a groundbreaking work of science fiction that delves into the consequences of a man who wakes up after a 200-year slumber to find himself in a dystopian future.

Wells, a renowned writer of his time, was known for his visionary outlook on the future and his ability to create rich and detailed worlds. Wells' own observations of society and politics likely influenced his decision to write 'The Sleeper Awakes,' a work that continues to resonate with readers to this day. I highly recommend 'The Sleeper Awakes' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking science fiction that challenges societal norms and explores the potential consequences of unchecked technological advancements. It is a classic work that remains relevant in today's world, urging readers to reflect on the impact of progress on the human experience.

Download or read book Love and Mr Lewisham Annotated written by H G Wells and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-19 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love and Mr Lewisham is a 1900 novel set in the 1880s by H. G. Wells. It was among his first fictional writings outside the science fiction genre. Wells took considerable pains over the manuscript and said that the writing was an altogether more serious undertaking than I have ever done before. He later included it in a 1933 anthology, Stories of Men and Women in Love.Events in the novel closely resemble events in Wells's own life. According to Geoffrey H. Wells: "referring to the question of autobiography in fiction, H. G. Wells has somewhere made a remark to the effect that it is not so much what one has done that counts, as where one has been, and the truth of that statement is particularly evident in this novel Both Mr Lewisham and Mr Wells were at the age of eighteen, assistant masters at country schools, and that three years later both were commencing their third year at The Normal School of Science, South Kensington, as teachers in training under Thomas Henry Huxley. The account of the school, of the students there and of their social life and interests, may be taken as true descriptions of those things during the period 1883-1886.

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is H. G. Wells' 1910 dystopian novel, "The Sleeper Awakes". A man sleeps for 200 years and wakes up in a transformed London to find that, due to the compound interest of his bank account, he is the richest man in the world. However, with his wildest dreams also come his gravest nightmares. A fantastic science fiction novel from the father of the genre, "The Sleeper Awakes" is highly recommended for those with a love of dystopian fiction and is not to be missed by fans of Wells' work. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
