In the space of less than four years, H.G. Wells (1866-1946) published four of the most influential, original and hair-raising of all works of science fiction. In a life of tireless experiment, travelling, and intellectual engagement, Wells was both a leading public figure and one of the great imaginers of the modern world, but his reputation was always dominated by these amazing novels: 'The Time Machine', 'The Island of Doctor Moreau', 'The Invisible Man', and 'The War of the Worlds'.
