作者简介

H·G·威尔斯于1866年出生于肯特郡布罗姆利。由于家庭经济困难，他的学业屡次中断，在多所学校担任教师，并开始创作他的批故事。

威尔斯是一位多产作家，作品类型丰富多样，其中著名的当属他的科幻小说。这些作品是科幻小说这一类型中早也是具影响力的代表作，包括《时间机器》和《世界大战》等经典之作。他的大部分作品都广受好评，并对包括乔治·奥威尔和艾萨克·阿西莫夫在内的许多年轻作家产生了巨大影响。威尔斯还创作了许多通俗易懂的非虚构作品，并利用文字支持他所关注的各种政治和社会事业，尽管在他晚年，这些事业的立场变得越来越古怪。

H.G. Wells was born in Bromley, Kent, in 1866. After an education repeatedly interrupted by his family’s financial problems, he eventually found work as a teacher at a succession of schools, where he began to write his first stories.

Wells became a prolific writer with a diverse output, of which the famous works are his science fiction novels. These are some of the earliest and most influential examples of the genre, and include classics such as The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds. Most of his books very well-received, and had a huge influence on many younger writers, including George Orwell and Isaac Asimov. Wells also wrote many popular non-fiction books, and used his writing to support the wide range of political and social causes in which he had an interest, although these became increasingly eccentric towards the end of his life.
