Blurb
With The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, H. G. Wells created two of the most influential works in the history of science fiction.
In the first, a daring inventor travels into the distant future and discovers a world in which humanity has divided into the fragile Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks.
In the second, Earth itself becomes the target of a terrifying Martian invasion, confronting mankind with forces far beyond its control.
Both novels combine thrilling imagination with sharp social and philosophical insight.
Wells turns time travel, alien invasion, class conflict, evolution, imperialism, and the fragility of civilization into narratives of enduring power and urgency.
This is the English-language hardcover edition of both novels.

Biography
H(erbert) G(eorge) Wells, geb. am 21. September 1866 in Bromley/Kent, starb am 13. August 1946 in London. Nach einer Kaufmannslehre absolvierte er ein naturwissenschaftliches Studium mit Prädikatsexamen; nach nur wenigen Jahren als Dozent lebte er als freier Schriftsteller. Sein Gesamtwerk umfaßt etwa hundert Bände. Zu Weltruhm gelangte er mit seinen Romanen und Erzählungen, die ihn als Begründer der modernen Science Fiction, als genialen phantastischen Utopisten und als kritisch-humorvollen Gesellschaftssatiriker ausweisen.Notes:
