Autorenporträt
H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, England, stands as one of the most prominent figures in the world of science fiction literature. An author of extraordinary imagination, Wells deeply influenced the genre with his foresighted narratives that often delved into speculative and futuristic themes. His literary style, characterized by a didactic and engaging tone, often tackled social issues through abstract means, presenting both opportunities and warnings for mankind's trajectory. Pioneering concepts of time travel, space exploration, and dystopian futures, Wells helped shape public consciousness about the possibilities of scientific advancements and their impact on society. In addition to 'Thirty Strange Stories' (1897), a collection that showcases his penchant for the strange and morally complex, Wells authored iconic novels such as 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), 'The Invisible Man' (1897), and 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' (1896).

Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and provoke thought to this day.
