Description

A sharp, readable literary biography of H. G. Wells—one of the minds who helped invent the modern world. Anthony West traces Wells not just as the author of groundbreaking fiction, but as a public intellectual, social critic, and complicated human being navigating fame, ambition, ideals, and private life.

If you love the intersection of literature, history, and big ideas, this is the kind of biography that gives you both the man and the era—without feeling like homework. A strong copy to keep near your classics shelf, especially if you collect 20th-century literary lives or the story behind science fiction’s early giants.
