Author : H.G. Wells

Herbert George Wells, born into a working-class family in Kent, England, overcame a challenging upbringing marked by health issues and educational interruptions. As a teenager, he became a draper's apprentice, but his academic potential was recognized by the headmaster of Midhurst Grammar School, who later invited him back as a student teacher. In 1884, Wells earned a government scholarship to study biology under Thomas Henry Huxley at the Normal School of Science, eventually obtaining his bachelor and doctor of science degrees from the University of London. After marrying his cousin Isabel, he began publishing short stories and articles, leading to noteworthy novels such as The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. A proponent of progressive ideas, Wells stirred controversy through his personal life, including divorcing his cousin to marry a former student, while advocating for free love and engaging in notable relationships. A member of the Fabian Society, he wrote extensively on various subjects, producing over 100 works, including both fiction and significant nonfiction like A Modern Utopia and The Outline of History. Celebrated as one of the early pioneers of science fiction, Wells's contributions to literature and social thought have left a lasting legacy, a testament to his vision for a better world. He passed away in 1946.
