Reseña del editor:

Herbert George Wells was perhaps best known as the author of such classic works of science fiction as The Time Machine and War of the Worlds. But it was in his short stories, written when he was a young man embarking on a literary career, that he first explored the enormous potential of the scientific discoveries of the day. He described his stories as "a miscellany of inventions," yet his enthusiasm for science was tempered by an awareness of its horrifying destructive powers and the threat it could pose to the human race. A consummate storyteller, he made fantastic creatures and machines entirely believable; and, by placing ordinary men and women in extraordinary situations, he explored, with humor, what it means to be alive in a century of rapid scientific progress.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Contraportada:

So H.G. Wells described the journeys into his remarkable imagination which resulted in 'The Country of the Blind and Other Stories'. Here is a collection of Well's best short stories. They range from the light-hearted comic tales such as 'The Obliterated Man' to the breath taking Masterpieces of science fiction like 'The Star.' A new introduction and notes, especially written for this addition, ensures maximum understanding and enjoyment for the modern reader.
