Reseña del editor

Time is the one thing that governs our very being - whether young or old, at the end of our days or just starting out in life, time is a fixed quantity. Measurable and exact, it orders our days and instructs our activity with a rigid and monotonous regularity. But what if time were to become fluid? If the hands on the sundial could be altered to speed on to the next day, or to revert to our yesterdays? Wouldn't this have immeasurable implication on every aspect of our lives? And if time becomes transient, the concept of our lives? And if time becomes transient, the concept of the death must surely take on a very different flavour. Once the controlling force of time has been usurped, a whole host of philosophical questions come in to play - questions that H. G. Wells ponders with remarkable dexterity.

Biografía del autor

H.G. Wells (1866-1946) was a novelist, journalist, sociologist and historian, best-known for his science fiction novels. His first attempt at fiction writing was merely imitative, but he eventually set himself up as a freelance writer. Possessor of a lively and humorous style and the exponent in fiction of the relatively new subject of science, his scientific fantasies were hugely popular. Some of his successful novels are The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds. Beneath his inventiveness lies a passionate concern for humanity and society. With time however, his works grew less optimistic and even bitter.
