Война миров
Легендарный роман "Война миров" английского писателя Герберта Уэллса (1866-1946) впервые появился в печати на страницах журналов "Pearson's Magazine" в Великобритании и "Cosmopolitan" в США в 1897 году, а на русский язык был впервые переведен четыре года спустя. Написанный в популярном в те дни жанре "литературы вторжения", но с инопланетными пришельцами в роли агрессора, роман со временем стал классикой научной фантастики и одним из самых переиздаваемых и экранизируемых произведений.Герберт Уэллс перепробовал в жизни много занятий - был в юности помощником фармацевта, учительствовал, помогал известному биологу Томасу Хаксли, а позже и сам стал биологом. Потом увлекся журналистикой, выступал с лекциями. Однако самым важным вкладом этого человека в мировую культуру считается развитие научной фантастики, которой он придал столь мощный импульс, что его влияние ощущается до сих пор. Секрет успеха Уэллса на этом поприще состоял в том, что он делал акцент не столько на описании технических перспектив и чудес будущего, сколь на заострении конфликтов человека и общества. "Война миров" - одно из самых известных произведений писателя. Оно было впервые опубликовано в 1897 г. и стало воплощением витавших в то время в Великобритании страхов перед милитаризацией Германии и вторжением иностранных государств. Роман "Война миров" стал первым произведением, в котором описывается вторжение на Землю пришельцев. На протяжении всего последующего XX-века эта мастерски описанная история продолжала сохранять свою необычайную популярность.Энрике Алвим Коррео - бразильский иллюстратор, проживший яркую, но короткую жизнь. Он получил художественное образование в Париже и открыл в 1900 г. в Брюсселе свою собственную студию. Более ста тридцати иллюстраций к "Войне миров" сделали его имя известным в Европе.

About the author
H.G. Wells
5,251 books11.3k followersHerbert George Wells was born to a working class family in Kent, England. Young Wells received a spotty education, interrupted by several illnesses and family difficulties, and became a draper's apprentice as a teenager. The headmaster of Midhurst Grammar School, where he had spent a year, arranged for him to return as an "usher," or student teacher. Wells earned a government scholarship in 1884, to study biology under Thomas Henry Huxley at the Normal School of Science. Wells earned his bachelor of science and doctor of science degrees at the University of London. After marrying his cousin, Isabel, Wells began to supplement his teaching salary with short stories and freelance articles, then books, including The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Dr. Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898).
Wells created a mild scandal when he divorced his cousin to marry one of his best students, Amy Catherine Robbins. Although his second marriage was lasting and produced two sons, Wells was an unabashed advocate of free (as opposed to "indiscriminate") love. He continued to openly have extra-marital liaisons, most famously with Margaret Sanger, and a ten-year relationship with the author Rebecca West, who had one of his two out-of-wedlock children. A one-time member of the Fabian Society, Wells sought active change. His 100 books included many novels, as well as nonfiction, such as A Modern Utopia (1905), The Outline of History (1920), A Short History of the World (1922), The Shape of Things to Come (1933), and The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind (1932). One of his booklets was Crux Ansata, An Indictment of the Roman Catholic Church. Although Wells toyed briefly with the idea of a "divine will" in his book, God the Invisible King (1917), it was a temporary aberration. Wells used his international fame to promote his favorite causes, including the prevention of war, and was received by government officials around the world. He is best-remembered as an early writer of science fiction and futurism.
He was also an outspoken socialist. Wells and Jules Verne are each sometimes referred to as "The Fathers of Science Fiction". D. 1946.
