Sinopsis

Volume 1&mdash,The Time Machine, The Wonderful Visit & The Island of Doctor MoreauFor 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 &lsquo,Fathers of Science Fiction&rsquo, and this six volume Leonaur collection focuses upon his writing in that genre&mdash,from the strange to the fantastical and scientifically prophetic&mdash,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.In &lsquo,The Time Machine&rsquo, (1895) an inventor-traveller visits several future destinations including a future populated by the gentle Eloi and brutish Morlocks. &lsquo,The Wonderful Visit&rsquo, (1895) features an angel with dazzling plumage who visits Victorian England. In &lsquo,The Island of Doctor Moreau&rsquo, (1896) a shipwrecked man finds himself on the island home of a mad scientist who is creating human-like hybrid creatures from animals.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles, each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
