G. Wells, along with Jules Verne, is credited with inventing science fiction. This new volume offers two of Wells''s best-loved and most critically acclaimed "scientific romances." In each, the author grounds his fantastical imagination in scientific fact and conjecture while lacing his narrative with vibrant action, not merely to tell a "ripping yarn," but to offer a biting critique on the world around him. "The strength of Mr. Wells," wrote Arnold Bennett, "lies in the fact that he is not only a scientist, but a most talented student of character, especially quaint character. He will not only ingeniously describe for you a scientific miracle, but he will set down that miracle in the midst of a country village, sketching with excellent humour the inn-landlady, the blacksmith, the chemist''s apprentice, the doctor, and all the other persons whom the miracle affects." &&LSTRONGAlfred Mac Adam&&L/B&&L/B teaches literature at Barnard College-Columbia University.

    Great experience. I ordered a luxury hardcover for which the condition of the book is important and the packing was great and the item was as described. I asked questions during the process and the seller was responsive and helpful. I would definitely buy again from this seller

    Expertly packaged and sent fast at a low price. The pair of books in itself is in fantastic shape which was as the description read.
