Wells' explorations of social problems set in the form of a novel, but it is more a complex investigation of what might be than a mere fictional story.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe unnamed narrator and a traveling companion find themselves on a parallel Earth, where the geology, biology, and very people are duplicates of those we know. They differ, however, in their outlook on life, methods of living and organizing themselves, and many other sociological issues. Through the eyes of the two we recognize (and their doppelgangers on this other Earth), we explore the possibilities provided in Wells' utopian society, where people work for the common betterment, rather than personal enrichment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComplex, visionary, and thought-provoking, author Joseph Conrad complained of the book that Wells did not \"take sufficient account of human imbecility which is cunning and perfidious.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBritish author Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was at home in many genres, including history, politics, and social commentary, as well as the fiction for which he is best remembered today. He was one of the fathers of modern science fiction, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times (in 1921, 1932, 1935, and 1946). He is the author of such enduring classics as \u003ci\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/i\u003e (1895), \u003ci\u003eThe Island of Doctor Moreau\u003c\/i\u003e (1896), \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1897), and \u003ci\u003eThe War of the Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e (1898).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Modern Utopia\u003c\/i\u003e is an early one of the 50 novels--and an even greater number of nonfiction works--H.G. Wells produced during a writing career that spanned decades. His first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, appeared in 1895, while his last followed in 1941, \u003ci\u003eYou Can't Be Too Careful\u003c\/i\u003e. His non-fiction books debuted with a \u003ci\u003eText-Book of Biology\u003c\/i\u003e in 1893, through a discussion of \u003ci\u003eMarxism vs Liberalism\u003c\/i\u003e in 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 236\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 23, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47449938100473,"sku":"9781515400431","price":17.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/H-D35J_D0r9781515400431.webp?v=1772046317","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/a-modern-utopia-paperback-9","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
