About
H.G. Wells
**H.G. Wells (1866-1946)** H.G. Wells was a prolific British novelist, journalist, and social critic. Born in Kent, he initially worked as a teacher before pursuing a writing career. Wells's scientific romances, such as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The War of the Worlds" (1898), and "The Invisible Man" (1897), catapulted him to fame for their groundbreaking exploration of time travel, alien invasion, and human evolution. His later works tackled social issues and predicted the rise of technology, including "The Island of Dr. Moreau" (1896), "The New Machiavelli" (1911), and "The Shape of Things to Come" (1933). Wells received numerous awards, including the Order of Merit (1935) and the Nobel Prize in Literature nomination (1920). He is widely regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction and a significant literary figure of the 20th century.
