Sobre El Autor

H. G. Wells was born in Bromley, England on September 21, 1866. After a limited education, he was apprenticed to a draper, but soon found he wanted something more out of life. He read widely and got a position as a student assistant in a secondary school, eventually winning a scholarship to the mostrar más Royal College of Science in South Kensington, where he studied biology. He graduated from London University in 1888 and became a science teacher. He also wrote for magazines. When his stories began to sell, he left teaching to write full time. He became an author best known for science fiction novels and comic novels. His science fiction novels include The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Wonderful Visit, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The First Men in the Moon, and The Food of the Gods. His comic novels include Love and Mr. Lewisham, Kipps: The Story of a Simple Soul, The History of Mr. Polly, and Tono-Bungay. He also wrote several short story collections including The Stolen Bacillus, The Plattner Story, and Tales of Space and Time. He died on August 13, 1946 at the age of 79.

Biografía breve
Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, history, satire, biography and autobiography. His work also included two books on recreational war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback.

During his own lifetime, however, he was most prominent as a forward-looking, even prophetic social critic who devoted his literary talents to the development of a progressive vision on a global scale. A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. Brian Aldiss referred to Wells as the "Shakespeare of science fiction". Wells rendered his works convincing by instilling commonplace detail alongside a single extraordinary assumption – dubbed “Wells's law” – leading Joseph Conrad to hail him in 1898 as "O Realist of the Fantastic!". His most notable science fiction works include The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898) and the military science fiction The War in the Air (1907). Wells was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times.

Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he wrote little science fiction, while he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of journalist. Novels such as Kipps and The History of Mr Polly, which describe lower-middle-class life, led to the suggestion that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. Wells was a diabetic and co-founded the charity The Diabetic Association (known today as Diabetes UK) in 1934.

Reseñas

¿A quién no le tentaría darse una vuelta por el futuro si creyera tener el regreso asegurado? El viajero se traslada al año 802701 gracias a la máquina del tiempo. Cuando vuelve, asombra a todos por el relato de su encuentro con los Eloi y los Morlock, una raza degenerada y en regresión. El autor reflexiona sobre el paso del hombre por la Tierra y su responsabilidad con respecto al porvenir.

Wells nos conduce a su utopía "mediante un acto de imaginación", cuando el narrador y su compañero descienden del paso Lucendro (Suiza) al duplicado de nuestro mundo físico, otro planeta que da vueltas en torno a otro sol muy lejano, en las profundidades del espacio más allá de Sirio. Mezcla de ensayo y de novela, Una Utopía moderna prefigura, en este sentido, las últimas obras de Umberto Eco.

La confrontación entre la fantasía de Wells y la realidad actual, es obvia. El hombre ha conquistado la Luna y conoce sus posibilidades, cuando menos a primera vista. Sin embargo, hallamos en la obra de H. G. Wells, autor de formación liberal y romántica imaginación, un encanto dificil de superar. Constituye un alarde de audacia en la época en que fue escrita. Tiene algo de las utopías sociales, que suscitaron en su momento violentas polémicas, y mucho de anticipación científica en un sentido que va más allá de lo estrictamente técnico, al poner de relieve las posibilidades de un Universo relativo, asombroso e incoquistado.… (más)

Dentro de un millar de años, poco más o menos, la sociedad estará dividida en tres clases: los grandes ricos, que tendrán en sus manos el monopolio de todas las industrias y que habitarán los posos superiores de los altos edificios, para estar más cerca de sus vehículos volantes y del aire puro; los empleados, funcionarios, médicos, hombres de leyes, clase intermedia que ocupará la parte central de esos edificios; y en el piso bajo, los obreros y obreras, miserable población de siervos de fábricas y de canteras, alimentados y vestidos administrativamente, clase en la cual habrá perdurado, junto con el lenguaje grosero de los siglos antiguos, el amor al boxeo que fue en aquellos tiempos la característica de los ingleses.… (más)
