Отрывок из книги
Herbert George Wells (H.G. Wells, 1866–1946), the famous English novelist, is best known for his science fiction novels, such as The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), The War of the Worlds (1898), and comic books Tono-Bungay (1909) and The History of Mr. Polly (1910). Wells was not only a writer of rich imagination and extraordinary ideas, but a journalist and a sociologist.
Despite the constant threat of poverty in his youth, Wells won a scholarship to study biology at the Normal School of Science (later the Royal College in London) and in 1888 graduated from London University to become a science teacher.
