With an Introduction and Notes by Linda Dryden, Professor of
English Literature at Edinburgh Napier University and the author of
Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells: The Fin-de Siecle-Literary Scene.At
the end of the nineteenth century a stranger arrives in the Sussex
countryside and mayhem ensues; in the sleepy county of Kent a
miracle food brings biological chaos that engulfs and threatens the
entire planet. H. G. Wells's fertile and mercurial imagination
never brought us more bizarre and unsettling stories than those
revealed in The Invisible Man (1897) and The Food of the Gods, and
How It Came to Earth (1904). These are stories of extraordinary
physical transformations and are at once extremely funny and richly
imaginative. At the same time, Wells poses some very probing
questions about the ethical dimensions to science and the human
capacity for both pity and cruelty. Brought together for the first
time in this new Wordsworth edition, The Invisible Man and The Food
of the Gods are two of Wells's most entertaining and
thought-provoking works.
