As the Time Traveller delves deeper into this bifurcated world, he realises the grim consequences of societal decay and the potential fate of humanity. H.G. Wells’ The Time Machine is a pioneering work in the science fiction genre, introducing the concept of time travel and coining the term »time machine«.

WELLS [1866-1946] was a British author and pioneer in the science fiction genre. His works, including The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, delved into futuristic and societal critique themes.

Book Synopsis The War of the Worlds by : Herbert George Wells
Download or read book The War of the Worlds written by Herbert George Wells and published by Stovepipe Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants." At first, they were just a joke, feeble blobs barely able to move in the oppressive gravity of Earth. Within days, they had become the single biggest threat in the history of humanity. When H.G. Wells penned The War of the Worlds in 1898, London was the center of the known human universe; Wells' dark novel sets about destroying civilization by striking at it's most glorious and shining city, at a time when man was decades away from space travel. The swift and terrible attacks of the Martians lay waste to the technological firepower of the esteemed British military, and the populace shifts from apathetic ambivalence to panic. Not just a science fiction tale, Wells' story takes to task the easy, taken-for-granted lives of the citizens of a superpower, and his themes still ring true over a century later. Follow the harrowing flight of the narrator as he scraps and claws for survival as the human race is swept aside by ruthless invaders; His life quickly devolves to that of an animal, hiding and cowering in the dank rubble of a ruined city. The invaders are advanced and merciless; they decimate the armies with "heat rays" and blast toxic "black death" into the choked streets of London. No one is safe. Wells' bleak masterpiece is essential reading; it laid the groundwork for thousands of stories which followed.
Book Synopsis Battle Lines by : Jonathan Fetter-Vorm
Download or read book Battle Lines written by Jonathan Fetter-Vorm and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring breathtaking panoramas and revelatory, unforgettable images, Battle Lines is an utterly original graphic history of the Civil War. A collaboration between the award-winning historian Ari Kelman and the acclaimed graphic novelist Jonathan Fetter-Vorm, Battle Lines showcases various objects from the conflict (a tattered American flag from Fort Sumter, a pair of opera glasses, a bullet, an inkwell, and more), along with a cast of soldiers, farmers, slaves, and well-known figures, to trace an ambitious narrative that extends from the early rumblings of secession to the dark years of Reconstruction. Employing a bold graphic form to illuminate the complex history of this period, Kelman and Fetter-Vorm take the reader from the barren farms of the home front all the way to the front lines of an infantry charge. A daring presentation of the war that nearly tore America apart, Battle Lines is a monumental achievement.
