The Invisible Man. The Life and Liberties of H.G. Wells.
Seller: Versandantiquariat Jena, Jena, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: leichte Gebrauchsspuren. For almost half a century H.G. Wells was an international phenomenon, the only writer of his time who could command an audience with both Roosevelt and Stalin. His circle of friends included George Bernard Shaw, Rudyard Kipling, G.K. Chesterton, Somerset Maugham and, of course, the young Rebecca West, with whom he had a long-term affair - perhaps the most tempestuous and sparkling literary liaison of the century. Equally illustrious was his circle of enemies, including the indomitable Hilaire Belloc, who destroyed Wells in a vicious and public argument. Unlike any previous biographer, Michael Coren shows that while many have considered Wells to be on the side of the angels, he was in fact invariably on the wrong side in the major political and literary debates of the age. Coren delves deep into the paradoxes that characterized Wells - the utopian visionary and staunch advocate of women's suffrage who was also a misogynistic womanizer; the epitome of liberal tolerance who was also a social engineer and anti-Semite. The Invisible Man is one of those iconoclastic biographies that change our perception of their subjects forever. In englischer Sprache. 240 pages. Seller Inventory # B2181
