Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contents:The Time MachineWar of the WorldsThe Time Traveller (for so it will be convenient to speak of him) was expounding a recondite matter to us. His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere when thought roams gracefully free of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in this way—marking the points with a lean forefinger—as we sat and lazily admired his earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it) and his fecundity.

Book excerpt: In Victorian England, an eccentric scientist unveils his latest invention: a machine capable of travelling through time. Demonstrating its capabilities, the Time Traveller embarks on a journey to the distant future, arriving in the year 802,701. He discovers a seemingly utopian society inhabited by the gentle Eloi, but soon uncovers a dark and terrifying underworld ruled by the sinister Morlocks. 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«. First published in 1895, it has since become a classic, influencing countless works of fiction and shaping the genre’s development. H. G. 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. Wells’s visionary portrayals of technology, social structures, and extraterrestrial life made him one of the most influential writers in his field and a precursor to modern science fiction.

Download or read book H.G. Wells on Film written by Don G. Smith and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most influential thinkers of his era, H.G. Wells is primarily known for his science fiction writings that looked ahead in time to teach and warn. These novels and stories inspired many filmmakers to bring his visions (if often greatly altered or misfocused) to life on screen. He himself wrote screenplays and closely supervised the production of some of his work. This book is a study of every theatrically released film from 1909 to 1997 that is based, even loosely, on the writings of H.G. Wells, including The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, The War of the Worlds, The First Men in the Moon, The Food of the Gods and The Empire of the Ants, to name a few. For each film, the author discusses the circumstances surrounding its creation, its plot, how it compares with the literary work, its production and marketing, and its strengths and weaknesses based on aesthetic qualities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Invisible Man"" is a science fiction novel written by H.G. Wells, first published in 1897. It tells the story of a scientist named Griffin who discovers a way to make himself invisible. However, his newfound power leads him down a path of madness and destruction. Griffin begins the novel as a mysterious figure wrapped in bandages who rents a room at an inn in the English village of Iping. He soon reveals himself as an invisible man, having experimented with a dangerous chemical process that rendered him unseen by the naked eye. As Griffin struggles to cope with his invisibility and the isolation it brings, he becomes increasingly unhinged. He terrorizes the villagers, committing acts of violence and sabotage while attempting to find a way to reverse the process that made him invisible. The novel follows Griffin's descent into madness and his attempts to evade capture by the authorities and those who seek to stop him. Along the way, he encounters various characters, including the innkeeper Mr. Marvel, the scientist Dr. Kemp, and a host of others who become embroiled in his schemes. Ultimately, Griffin's unchecked ambition and disregard for humanity lead to his downfall. He dies a tragic and lonely death, undone by his own hubris and the consequences of his actions. ""The Invisible Man"" explores themes of power, identity, and the dangers of unchecked scientific experimentation. It remains one of H.G. Wells' most enduring and influential works, inspiring numerous adaptations in film, television, and other media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is t first believed to be falling stars or harmless meteorites turns out to be cylindrical Martian ships filled with nightmarish, tentacled invaders and their robotic war machines. When curious Englanders come to inspect the massive containers imbedded in the still-smoking countryside, metallic appendages emerge from the pits to kill every living thing in their path with strange heat rays. Then as the surrounding townships slowly devolve into chaos, the Martians begin constructing giant tripod war machines to track down and kill--or capture-- as many of the human "inferior animals" as possible. The nameless narrator, trapped in a house almost completely crushed by the impact of a starship, watches in horror as the seemingly unstoppable Martians build their mechanical armies, kill hundreds with poisonous gas-- and begin snacking on capture humans!
