Description
Step into the mind of the father of modern science fiction with Van Wyck Brooks' definitive biography of H.G. Wells. This comprehensive study traces Wells' evolution from a young visionary to the author of War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, and The Invisible Man, exploring how his imaginative leaps reshaped modern literature and social thought.\n\nBrooks captures the restless energy of a writer who constantly reinvented himself. From his early journalistic work to his later philosophical essays, the biography reveals the man behind the masterpieces — a restless intellect whose predictions about technology and war still resonate today. Whether you are a fan of Wells' fiction or a student of literary history, this biography offers an essential look at one of the 20th century's most influential thinkers.
