Informazioni sull'autore

Herbert George Wells was born in Kent in 1866, the son of a shop keeper and a lady’s maid. A bookish child his education was interrupted when he served a brief and gruelling apprenticeship to a draper. He then went on to study biology under the great T. H. Huxley. He found instant literary success with the publication of his first ‘scientific romance’, <i>The Time Machine</i> in 1895 followed by <i>The Island of Dr Moreau</i> in 1896 and <i>The War of the Worlds</i> in 1898. After a brief marriage to a cousin, he married Catherine Robbins, who had been one of his students. A lifelong socialist and visionary, he also wrote extensively on social issues, history and science. He died in 1946.
