H. G. Wells
Born Herbert George Wells in Kent in 1866, H. G. Wells was an outspoken socialist and pacifist, whose works caused some controversy. He is more widely known as a science fiction writer for the novels that he published between 1895 and 1901: The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, When the Sleeper Wakes and The First Men in the Moon. All, except for When the Sleeper Wakes, have been made into films.
Along with Jules Verne, H. G. Wells is also known as 'the Father of Science Fiction'.
His later novels were more realistic and he wrote many genres, including contemporary novels, history and social commentary.
H. G. Wells died in 1946.

Samenvatting
Spanning centuries, 'The Greats of Sci-Fi: H.G. Wells Edition' emerges as a seminal anthology that traverses the varied terrains of science fiction. The works selected for this collection not only showcase the inventive richness that characterizes the genre but also illuminate the essential themes of exploration, societal critique, and technological speculation. From the haunting depths of psychological manipulation to the exhilarating realms of interstellar travel, the literary styles vary dramatically, offering a rich tapestry of visionary narratives. This edition, while celebrating the legacy of H.G. Wells, includes works that stand out for their innovative approach and narrative prowess, reflecting the evolution of sci-fi from its inception to the burgeoning of its golden age. The contributors to this anthology represent a pantheon of seminal figures whose careers collectively map the contours of early science fiction literature. Figures like Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and Mark Twain not only defined but transcended their eras, injecting their unique social, historical, and personal preoccupations into their works. Together, these authors have fed into movements such as Romanticism, the Enlightenment, and Modernism, their diverse perspectives and backgrounds enriching the overarching theme of human versus the beyond, and what that interplay signifies culturally and philosophically. For aficionados of science fiction and new readers alike, 'The Greats of Sci-Fi: H.G. Wells Edition' offers a profound opportunity to explore a multiplicity of perspectives and narrative experiments under the broad umbrella of sci-fi. This anthology serves not just as a reflection of a genre but as a profound educational resource, exploring the depths of human curiosity and fear through the lens of speculative fiction. Readers are encouraged to traverse this landscape, learning from each voice and perhaps discovering in these intersections, a deeper understanding of the world as it could be envisioned through the speculative and often prophetic eyes of science fiction's pioneers.
