A sound and presentable copy (see photos) Edition / Printing Notes First edition thus; Dolphin Books / Doubleday & Company, Garden City, New York, 1961; Dolphin catalogue number C304; cover art by Bill Meek. Part of the Doubleday Dolphin Books quality paperback series, making these natural companion pieces in any Dolphin Books collection. The Time Machine was first published in 1895 as Wells' first novella; The War of the Worlds followed in 1898. Both are among the foundational texts of modern science fiction. Project Gutenberg Brian Aldiss referred to Wells as "the Shakespeare of science fiction"; Wells foresaw time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering before these were common in the genre, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times. Two of the most influential science fiction novels ever written, collected in a single handsome Dolphin Books quality paperback. The War of the Worlds depicts alien invaders from Mars ? minds vast and cool and unsympathetic ? descending on Victorian England with terrifying death machines; its 1938 radio broadcast by Orson Welles caused a nationwide sensation. The Time Machine sends its inventor 800,000 years into the future to a divided world of innocence and hidden terror ? the novel that launched Wells' career and established him as one of the foremost visionaries of his era. This Dolphin Books C304 edition is a historically significant quality paperback from one of the pioneering American quality paperback imprints of the early 1960s ? a handsome and collectible copy of two works that defined the science fiction genre.
