Aandhi By Jai Shankar Parsad (Hardcover)

H. G. Wells’s genius reintroduces readers to his singular talent for making the unbelievable seem utterly plausible. He envisioned a sky filled with aeroplanes before Orville Wright ever left the ground. He described the spectacle of space travel decades before men set foot on the moon. H. G. Wells was a visionary, a man of science with an enduring literary touch, and his originality and inventiveness are fully on display in this essential collection. “Wells imagined both dark and bright futures because his creed allowed both while promising neither, and because the eighty years of his life were years of immense intellectual and technological accomplishment and appalling violence and destruction.n
