HG Wells
One of the most prolific writers of his time, H.G. ( Herbert George) Wells was able to do it all. He was universal, and could write from many different sides. He was one of the most versitile writers, as he could write like a novelist, as in the The History of Mr. Polly. He could also write short stories, like The Star, or The Door In The Wall. He was also considered to be a visionary and a dreamer, as shown throughout A Modern Utopia, and Men Like Gods. What Wells was most famous for was his ability to be a scientific romancer. His novels, The Time Machine, The War of The Worlds, and The Invisible Man, were what he became most widely known for. All his writings, in the different genere's they were written from, truly prove he was one of the most versitile writers that ever lived.The date was September 21, 1866, and the place was 47 (now renumbered 172) High Street, Bromley, Kent, a suburb of London.. His father, Joseph Wells, and his mother, Sarah, had been married in 1853 and they had four children. An elder sister, Fanny, had died at the age of 9 two years before H.G. was born. After he was born, his family was worried that he may also die like his sister Fanny, being that he was a sort of "weakling" and struggled
His father's business failed and the family never made it to middle-class status, so Wells was apprenticed like his brothers to a draper, spending the years between 1880 and 1883 inWindsor and Southsea as a drapeist. The rest of the story tells about how the humans were powerless against the Martians, and how the Martians are able to take over whatever they want. After some years Wells left Isabel for one of his brightest students, Amy Catherine, whom he married in 1895. The Island Of Doctor Moreau (1896) is the most horrifying of Wells's fantasies and one of the best written. Also, Wells knew of some of the early tales of the unexplained and far fetched: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and The Last Man, and also works of Edgar Allan Poe, all which he enjoyed profousely. From 1893 Wells became a full-time writer. He obtained a scholarship to the Normal School of Science in London and studied there biology under T. His father was a shopkeeper and a professional cricketer, and his mother served from time to time as a housekeeper at the nearby estate of Uppark. This was nothing like The War Of The Worlds, even though they both dealt with space. Moreau is then killed by his creatures, which continue to come to their demise, and finally all die off. It is about a man with a bandaged face, who wears dark blue glasses and has a false nose.
