Sinopsis

Volume 5&mdash,A Modern Utopia & In the Days of the CometFor 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,A Modern Utopia&rsquo, (1905) two adventurers travel to a planet &lsquo,out beyond Sirius&rsquo, to experience a society in which their own doubles exist. &lsquo,In the days of the Comet&rsquo, (1906) a bizarre green comet enters the Earth&rsquo,s atmosphere releasing a soporific fog. Upon awakening humankind has been forever changed promoting a healthy, contented and peaceful society.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles, each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
