false 6057244 6 Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer best known for such science fiction novels as The Time Machine (1888), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The War of the Worlds (1897), The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance (1897) and The First Men in the Moon (1900-01). He was a prolific writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and produced works in many different genres, including contemporary novels, history, and social commentary. He was also an outspoken socialist. His later works become increasingly political and didactic, and only his early science fiction novels are widely read today. Wells is sometimes referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction". Among his most famous works are: Ann Veronica: A Modern Love Story (1909), The History of Mr. Polly (1910), The Country of the Blind and Other Stories (1911), An Englishman Looks at the World (1914), God the Invisible King (1917) and In the Fourth Year: Anticipations of a World Peace (1918). 6233307 1914 An Englishman Looks at the World 0 0 3 0 0 0 false false Sat Jun 06 21:35:49 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 21:36:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 06 21:49:35 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 21:49:35 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 31 14:42:17 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 14:42:17 -0800 2008
