The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells

The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. In The Time Machine, an inventor travels to the remote future where he finds both love and terror. The protagonist of The Invisible Man struggles to come to terms with his condition in a narrative which is by turns comic and tragic. The War of the Worlds imagines planetary conflict from an individual point of view. If these themes reveal the originality of Wells as a thinker, each story displays his skill as a novelist by the ways in which he anchors astonishing events in vivid everyday details of character and place.
