H. G. Wells was a Famous English Author of Science-fiction Novels

Surprisingly, his first published book was a Textbook of Biology. His first novel, The Time Machine, was met with immediate success. The Wonderful Visit, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The War of the Worlds quickly followed it. Wells also wrote numerous essays and articles at the time. Unfortunately, he did not stick with science fiction, instead choosing to write comic novels of the lower middle class.

Time traveling in science fiction shows us the value of our human curiosity which enables humanity and human condition to advance society. Our thirst for knowledge is one of the motivations behind the Time Traveler in H.G. Wells’ soft science fiction story, The Time Machine. Wells expresses how a time traveling story, through the science behind the machine, the exploration of the new time, and the assimilation and survival in the new society, can

He was born in 1894 to a family that contained many distinguished members of the English ruling class. His grandfather was Thomas Henry Huxley, a widely celebrated biologist who helped develop the theory of evolution. His upbringing and ancestry heavily influenced how he viewed society and literature. His magnum opus was Brave New World, a book which featured a dystopian society ruled by an iron fist by the upper class. Keep in mind he wrote this in 1931, before Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin came to power. In 1962 he published Island, which took him five years of writing and about twenty years of premeditation and thought. The utopian society of Pala in Island is viewed by some as an antidote to the dystopian Brave New World. In the early 1960’s, when he was writing Island, many Americans viewed the time as a beginning of a new golden age. However, times were not good for Huxley. He had just been diagnosed with Laryngeal Cancer, which eventually took his life on November 22, 1963, the same day President Kennedy was assassinated

Aldous Huxley is a revered 20th century author most famous for his novel Brave New World, a show of a potential fate for humankind in which humans are genetically bred and placed into a strict caste system. Born into a prominent English family in 1894, he had many significant intellectual family members, such as his grandfather, Thomas Huxley, who aided in the development of the theory of evolution alongside Charles Darwin. At the age of 14, Huxley lost his mother to cancer. Disaster then struck again at 16, when keratitis, an eye illness, left him partially blind. However, he was able to recover enough to still attend Balliol College at Oxford University, although he had to abandon his early dreams of becoming a scientist. Though, as seen in Brave New World as well as a few of his other works, Huxley still remained interested in the scientific

One morning the town wakes up in a panic, for a ginormous star is in a destructive path heading straight for Earth, no one knows what the future is going to hold and everyone is in a panic. But the publicity eventually subsides, because the enormous start is still in the sky and nothing has happened for a couple of days, but one mathematician works tirelessly to brainstorm an equation to repel the star. Even when the genius stays awake for four nights in a row he never is able to come up with a solution to the life- altering problem that Earth faces. And the star eventually engulfs the planets Saturn and Jupiter, shrinks the size of the moon, and renders life practically unlivable as the star causes a warming process similar to that of global

“One of the most promising artists of our day,” “ One of the most accomplished dramatic artists of the twentieth century, “ and “A major creative force and ultimate auteur,” were all praises and titles from major media moguls, publications, and critics given to Orson Welles. Not too shabby for someone who hasn’t even turned thirty yet, eh? Right out of the gate Welles proved to be an innovative and artistic force that could hold its own, and even surpass, the heavy hitters of his day. His career seemed to be on a steady incline for almost a decade; however, did his talent and work hit a plateau? Welles was always seen as an active political figure that was not afraid to voice or project

Although it was published seventeen years after my death, the novel War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells is a work of fiction that I would take great pleasure in reading. It would not be because of the futuristic tales of creatures from Mars that would make it so enjoyable, but instead the major themes that present themselves in the novel. It would be quite easy to discover that many of my ideas manifested themselves in Wells’ work. He drew many of his inspirations and ideas from our mutual friend, and his mentor, Thomas Henry Huxley. War of the Worlds helped perpetuate my work in a literary and fictional fashion, something that I greatly appreciate. I am Charles Darwin and although my passion is natural science, I have a feeling that this

Being such a private person, there are only few pictures of him in the public, and only few interviews with him.

Lewis to H.G. Wells there have been many such authors who have had the courage to take this world by storm by creating their own worlds. However, one such author stands out from the rest in terms of being able to create a completely new and unique world. This new
