About this ebook
Der geniale utopische Visionär H. G. Wells hat sein Fernglas oft auf künftige Welten gerichtet und Träume vom besseren Leben ausgemalt. Diesmal hat er dieses Fernglas umgedreht. Wells lässt einen Utopier um das Jahr 4000 von einer versunkenen, vergangenen und ganz und gar unglaubwürdigen Welt träumen: Die Erziehung liegt im Argen, die Nahrungsmittelversorgung ist verschwenderisch und unrationell und die Menschen sind fest überzeugt von der Richtigkeit der widersprüchlichsten Glaubenslehren, die alle mit dem Anspruch alleiniger Gültigkeit auftreten. In seiner überlegenen Sicht plädiert Wells für eine freie Gestaltung menschlicher Beziehungen und für Emanzipation von der noch immer nicht überwundenen viktorianischen Sexualmoral. Seine glänzende Schilderung von Ehe- und Gesellschaftsproblemen ist nicht nur spannend sondern auch humorvoll und weist auf die Möglichkeiten hin, mit denen die Probleme unserer Welt bewältigt werden können.
About the author
Herbert George Wells, commonly known as H.G. Wells, was a visionary English writer born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent. Often hailed as the "father of science fiction," Wells's prolific career spanned various genres, including social commentary, history, and even utopian fiction. His works are renowned for their prescient insights into future technologies and societal changes, making him a cornerstone of speculative fiction.Wells's early life was marked by financial hardship, which fueled his voracious reading and self-education. He won a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London, where he studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley, a staunch advocate of Darwinism. This scientific background profoundly influenced his writing, imbuing his narratives with a sense of realism and plausibility.Wells was not just a storyteller but also a social critic and a forward-thinking intellectual. He championed progressive causes such as socialism, women's rights, and global peace, often weaving these themes into his fiction. His controversial ideas sometimes put him at odds with contemporaries, yet they also cemented his reputation as a radical thinker.Wells's influence extends far beyond literature. His imaginative visions of time travel, alien invasions, and advanced technologies have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and scientists. His works have sparked dialogues about ethics, humanity's future, and the potential consequences of scientific advancements.Despite his literary success, Wells's personal life was tumultuous, marked by numerous affairs and complex relationships. Yet, his enduring legacy lies in his ability to challenge readers to envision the possibilities and perils of the future, making him a timeless figure in both literary and cultural history.
