Author: Wells
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2004-01-01
Features: H.G. Wells, a renowned British writer. He worked as an apprentice in a textile shop in his early years and later graduated from the Royal College. He once tried to make a living as a teacher but became famous for his journalistic and literary works. His works "The Time Machine" and "The Invisible Man" are considered the pioneers of modern science fiction. He had a wide range of interests throughout his life. Although not a historian, he was included among the great historians with his work "Outline of History." However, "Outline of History" is a monumental work, nearly a million words long, and not easily digestible for the average reader. For this reason, Wells published "A Short History of the World" in 1923, which served as a popular version of the former, featuring "brand new ideas and writing styles." In this book, the author presents the history of life and humanity since the origin of organisms with an incredibly broad perspective and a light, concise tone, in an orderly manner. The author's purpose is not to stick to research but to provide readers with a grand and expansive view. It is a history book that is suitable for readers to read. H.G.
