About the Author - Mysterious Visitor 2 | New Gems English Reader | Class 6 Literature | English
Herbert George Wells, commonly known as H.G. Wells, was a prolific British author born on September 21, 1866, in the London suburb of Bromley. Wells is considered one of the pioneering figures of science fiction, and his contributions to the genre have had a profound influence on modern popular culture.
He started his writing career in the late 19th century and produced numerous novels, short stories, and non-fiction works. His most enduring contributions are his science fiction novels, often filled with social and political commentaries, including "The Time Machine," "The Invisible Man," and "The War of the Worlds."
"The Time Machine" is one of the first works to popularize the concept of time travel and postulate on the nature of time. "The Invisible Man," tells the story of a scientist who discovers the secret to invisibility and its consequences. "The War of the Worlds" is perhaps his most famous work, involving a Martian invasion of Earth and exploring themes of British imperialism and human survival.
Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, but his influence continues to be felt in literature and popular culture. His works have been adapted into countless films, TV series, and radio dramas, a testament to the enduring power of his imagination.
