New Softcover . The sleeper is just an ordinary man, no one special, just someone going about his everday business. Until one day he awakes, and finds that the world around him has changed. No longer a nobody, he has been catapulted into the uneniviable position of a pawn in a dangerous conspiracy where the stakes are high and the players shockingly intelligent. For this is not the world that the sleeper knows, it is a new and terrifying mutation. Printed Pages: 296. .

leder - Goldgepr. Oldr. 365 S. dekorative Ganzlederausgabe. Gutes Exemplar aus dem Nachlaß Gerhard Löwenthal Herbert George "H.G." Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946)[1] was a British author, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing text books and rules for war games. Together with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback, Wells has been referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".[2] Wells's earliest specialized training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context.[3] He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as the beginning of the First World War) sympathizing with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of "Journalist."[4] Many of his novels, particularly those of his middle period (1900-1920), had nothing to do with science fiction. They described lower-middle class life (Kipps; The History of Mr Polly), and this work sometimes led Wells to be touted as a worthy successor to Charles Dickens.[5] Wells also wrote abundantly about the "New Woman" and the Suffragettes (Ann Veronica). Some of his early novels, called "scientific romances", invented a number of themes now classic in science fiction in such works as The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, When the Sleeper Wakes, and The First Men in the Moon. He also wrote other, non-fantastic novels that have received critical acclaim including Kipps and the satire on Edwardian advertising, Tono-Bungay. Wells also wrote dozens of short stories and novellas, the best known of which is "The Country of the Blind" (1904). His short story "The New Accelerator" was the inspiration for the Star Trek episode Wink of an Eye.[21](wikipedia)
