The War of the Worlds and Other Novels (Leatherbound Classics) (Leatherbound Classics)

Through his fiction, H.G. Wells transformed some of the most pressing social, political, and cultural issues of his day--class struggle, colonial imperialism, nation building, reckless scientific experimentation--into the raw material of brilliant speculative fables. The War of the Worlds and Other Novels brings together seven of his classic works, all written at the turn of the twentieth century, that helped to lay the foundations of modern science fiction: 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 In the Days of the Comet. The War of the Worlds and Other Novels is one of Barnes & Noble's leather bound classics. Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in exquisitely designed bonded leather bindings, with distinctive gilt edging and an attractive silk-ribbon bookmark. Decorative, durable, and collectible, these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home library.
