H and G biography, H and G discography
English novelist, journalist, sociologist,
and historian, whose science fiction stories have
been filmed many times.Wells's best known works are THE TIME MACHINE (1895), one of the first modern science fiction stories, THE
INVISIBLE MAN (1897), and THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (1898).Later Wells's romantic and enthusiastic conception
of technology turned
more doubtful.In his early childhood, Wells developed love for literature.His mother served from time to time as a housekeeper at the nearby estate of Uppark, and young Wells studied books in the library secretly.When his father's business failed, Wells was apprenticed like his brothers to a draper.In the story Arthur Kipps is raised by his aunt and uncle.Kipps is also apprenticed to a draper.He obtained a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London and studied there biology under T.He taught in private schools for four years, not taking his B.From 1893 Wells devoted himself entirely to writing.The narrator is Hillyer, who discusses with his friends about theories of time travel.He returns horrified back to the present.Prendick escapes from the island, and returns to London.Even then it seemed that I, too, was not a reasonable creature, but only an animal tormented with some strange disorder in its brain, that sent it to wander alone, like as sheep stricken with the gid.Wells, who was a Darwinist, did not reject the evolutionary theory but attacked optimists and warned that human progress is not inevitable.In film versions the character of Dr.Moreau has inspired such actors as Charles Laughton, Burt Lancaster, and Marlon Brando.Percival Lowell's book Mars (1895) stirred speculations that there could be life on the Red Planet.Panic spreads, London is evacuated.Martians release poisonous black smoke.In 1930 Paramount offered the story to the Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein, but he never attempted an adaptation.One of Wells's earlier stories, 'The Star' (1887), tells of a planet, that almost demolishes the world before hitting the sun.Wells also published critical pamphlets attacking the Victorian social order, among them ANTICIPATIONS (1901), MANKIND IN THE MAKING (1903), and A MODERN UTOPIA (1905).Even in your days that creed had been tried and condemned.Wells soon quarreled with the society's leaders,
among them George Bernard Shaw.At the outbreak
of war in 1914, Wells left his lover, Elizabeth Von Arnim, and began a love affair with a young journalist, Rebecca West, 26 years his junior.Their son Anthony West later wrote about their difficult relationship in Aspects of a Life (1984).In his novels Wells used his two wives, Amber Reeves, Rebecca West, Odette Keun and all the passing mistresses as models for his characters.Wells wrote in EXPERIMENT IN AUTOBIOGRAPHY (1934) ''though I have loved several people very deeply.Rebecca West became a famous author and married a wealthy banker, Henry Andrews, who had business interests in Germany.Elizabeth von Arnim dismissed Wells, and Moura Budberg, Maxim Gorky's former mistress, refused to marry him or even be faithful.Nothing could have been more obvious to the people of the early twentieth century than the rapidity with which war was becoming impossible.Sir Julian Huxley and George Philip Wells, and EXPERIMENT IN AUTOBIOGRAPHY (1934).At this time Wells had gained the status as a popular celebrity, and he continued to write prolifically.In the early 1920s Wells was a labour candidate for Parliament.Wells was convinced that Western socialists cannot compromise with Communism, and that the best hope for the future lay in Washington.Orson Welles' Mercury Theater radio broadcast, based on The War of the Worlds, caused a panic in the Eastern United States on October 30, 1938.Welles, who first considered the show silly, was shaken by the panic he had unleashed and promised that he would never do anything like it again.Wells himself was not amused with the radio play.He met the young director in 1940 at a San Antonio radio station, but was at that time mellowed and advertised Welles next film, Citizen Kane.Wells: Six Scientific Romances Adapted for Film by Thomas C.Orson Welles's radio dramatization of it in October 1938 caused widespread panic in the U.Russia and the United States had started hostilities, you could have substituted the Russian invasion and have had a hell of a war film.Novels into Film by John C.Roland Emmerich's film Independence day (1996) sticks closely to the plot of Well's story.Carol Reed
