About This Item
Washington D.C.: Counterpoint; A Cornelia and Michael Bessie Book, 1995. xvii, 318 pages, [32] leaves of plates, illustrations; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First printing. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. "H.G. Wells, British writer, social critic, futurist, and celebrated author of The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, witnessed the great events of two centuries and played a major role in many controversies of his turbulent age. With extraordinary foresight, he predicted such developments as the atomic bomb and space flight. He was a leading voice for society's have-nots, a staunch supporter of women's and worker's rights, a passionate champion of equality among races and classes, and one of socialism's leading proponents. In tracking the life of Wells, Michael Foot--former leader of Britain's labor party and esteemed literary biographer--traces the growth of these major social movements and Wells's commitment to them. What results is the story of a remarkable man whose work influenced a remarkable time." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible.
