Infos

First published in 1914, "An Englishman Looks At The World" is a collection of notes and essays on various contemporary issues by English writer H. G. Wells. Contents include: "The Coming of Blériot", "My First Flight", "Off the Chain", "Of the New Reign", "Will the Empire Live?", "The Labour Unrest", "The Great State", "The Common Sense of Warfare", "The Contemporary Novel", "The Philosopher's Public Library", "About Chesterton and Belloc", etc. Highly recommended for those with an interest in early twentieth-century Europe and not to be missed by collectors of Wells' work. Herbert George "H. G." Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Although he was prolific in many genres, he is best remembered for his science fiction novels, including "The Time Machine "(1895), "The Island of Doctor Moreau" (1896), and "The Invisible Man" (1897). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
