Sinossi
Una storia horror ammonitrice sui pericoli dell'avidità, dell'isolamento e di una scienza senza etica, dal padre della fantascienza. Lo straniero arriva all'inizio di febbraio, in una giornata invernale, con un vento pungente e una neve battente. È imbacuccato dalla testa ai piedi e la tesa del suo cappello nasconde ogni centimetro del suo viso. Maleducato e rude, lo straniero lavora con strani apparati chiuso nella sua stanza tutto il giorno e cammina lungo stradine solitarie di notte, il suo volto bendato incute timore nei bambini e nei cani. È la vittima mutilata di un incidente? Un criminale in fuga? Un genio eccentrico? Ma nessuno nel villaggio riesce a indovinare chi è arrivato tra loro o cosa nascondono quelle bende. "Wells è stato il padre fondatore della fantascienza e nei suoi romanzi fantasy utopici si è dimostrato stranamente corretto" Daily Telegraph

Informazioni sull?autore
H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent, in 1866. After an education repeatedly interrupted by his family’s financial problems, he eventually found work as a teacher at a succession of schools, where he began to write his first stories.
Wells became a prolific writer with a diverse output, of which the famous works are his science fiction novels. These are some of the earliest and most influential examples of the genre, and include classics such as The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds. Most of his books very well-received, and had a huge influence on many younger writers, including George Orwell and Isaac Asimov. Wells also wrote many popular non-fiction books, and used his writing to support the wide range of political and social causes in which he had an interest, although these became increasingly eccentric towards the end of his life.
Twice-married, Wells had many affairs, including a ten-year liaison with Rebecca West that produced a son. He died in London in 1946.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. A cautionary horror story about the dangers of greed, isolation and a science without ethics, from the father of science fiction. The stranger arrives early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow. He is wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his hat hides every inch of his face. Rude and rough, the stranger works with strange apparatus locked in his room all day and walks along lonely lanes at night, his bandaged face inspiring fear in children and dogs. Is he the mutilated victim of an accident? A criminal on the run? An eccentric genius? But no-one in the village comes close to guessing who has come amongst them, or what those bandages hide. 'Wells was the founding father of science fiction, and in his utopian fantasy novels he was proved eerily correct' Daily Telegraph. Codice articolo LU-9781784872090
