Volume 2--The Invisible Man & The War of the Worlds
For those who know anything of the most outstanding British authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the name of Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) needs little introduction, for he wrote on many subjects. He is principally remembered as one of the 'Fathers of Science Fiction' and this six volume Leonaur collection focuses upon his writing in that genre--from the strange to the fantastical and scientifically prophetic--with which he will forever be associated. These wonderful and dramatic stories have been gathered together in these attractive, good value volumes in chronological order of original publication.
'The Invisible Man' (1897) tells the story of Griffin, a scientist who has invented a way to become invisible, but has not invented a way to reverse the process. Given to extreme violence by nature, he becomes a stalking deadly horror. 'The War of the Worlds' (1897) tells the story of a Martian invasion of Earth in which giant tripod fighting machines wreak death and destruction on England. The tentacled Martians appear to be totally undefeatable by humans, but fall prey to common bacteria to which they have no immunity.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
