H.G. Wells (1866–1946) is a popular English writer, author of such famous novels as “War of the Worlds”, “The Invisible Man”, “The Time Machine”, “The Island of Doctor Moreau” and many others. Wells felt great concern for the fate of the world, realizing that new scientific discoveries and the rapid development of technology do not correspond to the moral state of society and, as a result, could lead to disaster. The writer was passionate about futurology and in his literary works played out a variety of future scenarios in search of solutions to the problems that humanity will inevitably face. It seems difficult to find a topic that would not occupy the great writer. He predicted wars using poisonous gases and lasers, and also the atomic bomb. He introduced the theme of parallel worlds and antigravity into science fiction, and also expressed a huge number of ideas that are still used by science fiction writers. This volume includes seven of Wells’s most famous novels, time-tested and warmed by the love of several generations of readers around the world.
