Description
H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds is a seminal science fiction novel that has had a profound impact on the genre. When a mysterious cylinder is discovered on Horsell Common, the inhabitants of London are faced with an otherworldly threat. The arrival of the Martians brings destruction and chaos, as their advanced technology and brutal methods wreak havoc on human society. As the forces of Earth struggle to counter the Martian invasion, the novel's themes of science, faith, and humanity are laid bare. With its vivid depiction of a world under siege, The War of the Worlds has been adapted countless times, including a notorious radio broadcast that caused widespread panic. This Penguin Classics edition features a full biographical essay on H.G. Wells, as well as a further reading list and detailed notes.
