Co se stane s civilizací napadenou jedovatými mravenci? Jak lze během jednoho dne vystoupat na alpský štít a bezpečně se dostat zase zpět do hotelu? Co se ukrývá za tajemnými dveřmi ve zdi anebo v rádžově trezoru? Tak rozmanité otázky si ve svých fantastických, dobrodružných anebo čistě humoristických prózách klade anglický spisovatel H. G. Wells ve třetím, závěrečném svazku sebraných povídek, představujícím autorovu pozdější, vyzrálou tvorbu i méně známé texty vycházející ve své době pouze časopisecky.

Jedovaté bojové plyny, laserové paprsky, důmyslné obojživelné transportéry, účinné plamenomety, odolné slitiny, výkonné razicí mechanismy... Ne, opravdu se nezdá, že by lidstvo mělo proti nezvaným návštěvníkům z Marsu sebemenší šanci. Na konci 19. století, kdy marťanské kosmické lodě přistávají poblíž Londýna, představují největší výkřiky lidské techniky těžkopádné a nepřesné dělo a bojový parník. Chladná a bezcitná inteligence vetřelců válcuje emocemi zmítané pozemšťany, zhýčkané pohodlím civilizace. Nejen že skoro nevycházejí noviny, knihovny jsou zavřené, vlaky nejezdí podle grafikonu a žádná divadla nehrají – ono, pěkně prosím, už ani není co jíst a zuří boj o holé přežití. Válka světů se tak stává i válkou s vlastním sobectvím, zbabělostí, malostí a strachem. Zvítězí tradiční morální hodnoty, nebo zákon silnějšího? Dokáže se lidstvo proti nepříteli semknout? Mají Marťané nějakou slabinu a existuje na Zemi něco, s čím při plánování invaze nepočítali? A především – opravdu je útok z vesmíru natolik čirá fantazie, že se ho do budoucna nemusíme obávat?

Herbert George Wells, anglický prozaik konca 19. a prvej polovice 20. storočia, bol autor obľúbených science-fiction románov a viacerých náučno-populárnych kníh pre širokú verejnosť, ktorý sa vyjadroval k mnohým aktuálnym politickým témam. Medzi jeho najvýznamnejšie diela patria romány Vojna svetov. Stroj času, Neviditeľný a iné. Po prvej svetovej vojne napísal monumentálne trojzväzkové dejiny Náčrt histórie sveta v rozsahu 1 324 strán, z ktorých vytvoril kratšiu verziu pod názvom Stručné dejiny sveta. Tie vyšli roku 1922 a predstavujú podrobný a detailný opis fyzického, duchovného a intelektuálneho vývinu ľudstva a zaznamenávajú kľúčové udalosti celej histórie sveta. Týmto svojím úžasným myšlienkovým počinom osvetľuje kontinuitu dejín a provokuje čitateľov, aby rozmýšľali o dôsledkoch budúceho vývinu spoločnosti založenom na vtedajšom vedeckom a intelektuálnom poznaní. Jeho dejiny poskytujú ucelený prehľad o jednotlivých obdobiach histórie a o najvýznamnejších udalostiach takmer encyklopedickým spôsobom, ale napriek tomu si uchováva svojský pohľad anglického prozaika a ľavicového intelektuála, ktorý chcel prispieť k svetovému pokroku a ktorého vízie budúcnosti ovplyvňovali myšlienkovú klímu tej doby. Ponúkané dielo je preto vhodné nielen pre mladú generáciu, pre študentov stredných a vysokých škôl, ale bude určite vítaným doplnkom knižníc, prekladateľov, redaktorov, novinárov a ďalších profesionálov, zaoberajúcich sa históriou i literatúrou.

"Stroj času" vypráví o krkolomné pouti časem svérázného vynálezce a klade otázky o mezích vývoje lidské civilizace. "Ostrov Dr. Moreaua" rovněž přesahuje žánr dobrodružného románu. Pojednává o vědeckých experimentech, jež se pokoušejí změnit odvěký řád přírody. Oba tyto romány, které možná až dnes nabývají pravé aktuálnosti, stojí u zrodu žánru vědeckofantastické literatury.

Rome's great hero Julius Caesar has been brutally murdered by his most trusted allies. While these self-appointed Liberatores seek refuge in the senate, they have underestimated one man: Caesar's adopted son Octavian, a man whose name will echo through history as Augustus Caesar. Uniting with his great rival Mark Antony, Octavian will stop at nothing to seek retribution from the traitors and avenge his father's death. His greatest hatred is reserved for Brutus, Caesar's childhood friend and greatest ally, now leader of the conspirators. As the people take to the streets of Rome, the Liberatores must face their fate. Some flee the city; others will not escape mob justice. Not a single one will die a natural death. And the reckoning will come for Brutus on the sweeping battlefield at Philippi.

eBook: Written just eight years before the Wright brothers made their first powered flight, ‘The Argonauts of the Air’ follows the fortunes of eccentric millionaire, Monson. Monson is determined to build the world’s first flying machine. However, with his fortune dwindling and time against him, will he be successful in his mission? Another example of Wells’ extraordinary prescience, ‘The Argonauts of the Air’ is a thought-provoking and taut read, and possibly the only book to put London’s Worcester Park on the literary map. H.G. Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific writer and the author of more than 50 novels. Additionally, he wrote more than 60 short stories, alongside various scientific papers. Many of his most famous works have been adapted for film and television, including ‘The Time Machine,’ starring Guy Pearce, ‘War of the Worlds,’ starring Tom Cruise, and ‘The Invisible Man,’ starring Elizabeth Moss. Because of his various works exploring futuristic themes, Wells is regarded as one of the ‘Fathers of Science Fiction.

eBook: The Flowering of the Strange Orchid is a short story by H. G. Wells. Herbert George \"H. G.\" Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called \"The Father of Science Fiction\", as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells\'s earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of \"Journalist.\" Most of his later novels were not science fiction. Some described lower-middle class life (Kipps; The History of Mr Polly), leading him to be touted as a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. Wells\'s first non-fiction bestseller was Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought (1901). When originally serialised in a magazine it was subtitled, \"An Experiment in Prophecy\", and is considered his most explicitly futuristic work. It offered the immediate political message of the privileged sections of society continuing to bar capable men from other classes from advancement until war would force a need to employ those most able, rather than the traditional upper classes, as leaders. Anticipating what the world would be like in the year 2000, the book is interesting both for its hits (trains and cars resulting in the dispersion of population from cities to suburbs; moral restrictions declining as men and women seek greater sexual freedom; the defeat of German militarism, and the existence of a European Union) and its misses (he did not expect successful aircraft before 1950, and averred that \"my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocate its crew and founder at sea\").

eBook: The Purple Pileus is a short story by H. G. Wells. Herbert George \"H. G.\" Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called \"The Father of Science Fiction\", as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells\'s earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of \"Journalist.\" Most of his later novels were not science fiction. Some described lower-middle class life (Kipps; The History of Mr Polly), leading him to be touted as a worthy successor to Charles Dickens, but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. Wells\'s first non-fiction bestseller was Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought (1901). When originally serialised in a magazine it was subtitled, \"An Experiment in Prophecy\", and is considered his most explicitly futuristic work. It offered the immediate political message of the privileged sections of society continuing to bar capable men from other classes from advancement until war would force a need to employ those most able, rather than the traditional upper classes, as leaders. Anticipating what the world would be like in the year 2000, the book is interesting both for its hits (trains and cars resulting in the dispersion of population from cities to suburbs; moral restrictions declining as men and women seek greater sexual freedom; the defeat of German militarism, and the existence of a European Union) and its misses (he did not expect successful aircraft before 1950, and averred that \"my imagination refuses to see any sort of submarine doing anything but suffocate its crew and founder at sea\").

eBook: Freedom. A quality valued by many, and which is never restricted without consequence. Can a mother’s guidance ever be too much? One beautiful suit could be all it takes to break a family apart. Protection becomes a shell, a place to hide from reality, but also a prison. There is always a breaking point, and this breaking point takes the form of one piece of tissue paper. Is freedom the danger, or was the danger created by mother’s constraint? ‘The Beautiful Suit’ is an exploration of society’s norms, and whether people’s behaviour determine them, or the norms determine people’s behaviour. Though it was first published in 1909, its themes and questions still ring true in today’s society. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a writer most well-known for science fiction titles such as \'War of the Worlds\' and \'The Time Machine.\' In many ways he is often considered to be a pioneer in the science fiction genre, though he also wrote short fiction, satire, social commentaries, biography and autobiography. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature on four occasions. In addition to writing, he was a teacher, historian and artist.
