Bücher von Herbert George Wells

Dieser visonäre Roman wurde 1899 geschrieben, vier Jahre vor dem ersten Motorflug und sieben Jahre vor der ersten experimentellen Rundfunkübertragung. Graham, der Held der Geschichte, fällt in tiefe Bewußtlosigkeit und wacht erst 200 Jahre später in London auf. London ist inzwischen eine Megacity mit 33 Millionen Einwohnern, die unter einer klimatisierten und beleuchteten Glasglocke leben. Die nötige Energie liefern gewaltige Windkraftanlagen. Die Einwohner scheinen sich um nichts sorgen zu müssen: für Information und Unterhaltung sorgen allgegenwärtige »Schwatzmaschinen«, der Verkehr zwischen entfernten Megacitys wird durch Flugzeuge bewerkstelligt und gegessen wird gemeinsam in großen Speisehallen. Seit vielen Jahrzehnten herrscht Frieden auf der Welt. Bald stellt sich heraus, daß Graham im Laufe der letzten 200 Jahre der reichste Mann der Welt geworden ist; ihm gehört der größte Teil davon. Der Verwaltungsrat, der über die Jahrhunderte Grahams Vermögen vermehrte und nutzte, hat sich zur diktatorischen Regierung aufgeschwungen und empfindet sein plötzliches Wiedererscheinen als Bedrohung seiner Macht. »Kongreß und Parlament werden meist als veraltete, wunderliche Versammlungen angesehen und Wahlen sind eine heitere Formalität geworden, eine siebenjährige Narrheit.« Alle anstrengende und schmutzige Arbeit in dieser schönen neuen Welt wird von einer Klasse rechtloser Arbeitssklaven verrichtet. Aber durch Grahams Erwachen wird eine gewaltige Umwälzung der Gesellschaft in Gang gesetzt.

H. G. Wells wurde am 21. September 1866 in Bromley, Kent geboren und starb am 13. August 1946 in London. Er war ein englischer Schriftsteller und Pionier der Science-Fiction-Literatur.»Der Unsichtbare«wurde 1897 geschrieben. Jeder Mensch hat schon davon geträumt, sich unsichtbar machen zu können. Welche grandiosen Möglichkeiten würden sich dadurch bieten: Reichtum wäre gewiß. Der Wissenschaftler Griffin entdeckt eine Formel, die ihn unsichtbar macht, aber für ihn wird dieser Traum zum Alptraum, denn er findet das Gegenmittel nicht, muß also für immer unsichtbar bleiben. Maskiert und durch Kleidung und Verbände getarnt verkriecht er sich in der englischen Provinz, mißtrauisch von den Einheimischen beäugt. Einsam und verzweifelt nutzt er seine Unsichtbarkeit, um, zuerst nur aus Not und gewungen, eine Reihe immer schwerer Verbrechen bis zum Mord zu begehen.

»Die Zeitmaschine«ist einer der ganz großen Klassiker des Science-Fiction-Genres. Geschrieben 1895, 10 Jahre vor Einsteins bahnbrechender Relativitätstheorie, erklärt der Autor die Funktion der Zeitmaschine damit, daß Zeit nur eine vierte Raumdimension ist.Der Zeitreisende landet im Jahr 802.701. In einem lieblich-milden Klima vertreibt sich das hübsche, kindliche Volk der Eloi scheinbar sorgenlos die Zeit im Paradies. Doch der erste Eindruck täuscht: aus dem Untergrund tönen stampfende Maschinengeräusche. Der Zeitreisende steigt hinab und findet die Morlocken, menschähnliche, häßliche, lichtscheue Wesen, die Maschinen betreiben und die die Eloi panisch fürchten, denn in der Nacht kommen diese Geschöpfe der Finsternis aus ihren Katakomben.
