The War of the Worlds
eBook
(GoodBook Classics Oct. 6, 2014)
, Enriched Classic edition
“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own.” Thus begins one of the most terrifying and morally prescient science fiction novels ever penned. H. G. Wells raises questions of mortality, man’s place in nature, and the evil lurking in the technological future—questions that remain urgently relevant in the twenty-first century.
Quotes from the book:
“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own.”
“We can't have any weak or silly. Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It's a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race.”
“Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.”
Readers' reviews:
“Finally! A five-star novel by H. G. Wells!” (Marvin, goodreads.com)
“This book was excellent! And we must give “props” to Wells because this is allegedly the first novel ever written about an alien invasion.” (Mark, goodreads.com)
“The book War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells is a very well written, amazing book.” (Alex, goodreads.com)
