H.G. Wells - Kipps: "What on earth would a man do with himself, if something did not stand in his way?"

Herbert George Wells, known as 'Bertie' in his youth, found his passion for literature during a recovery from a broken leg, leading to a prolific career as a versatile writer. Renowned for his science fiction masterpieces like The Time Machine and War of the Worlds, he also tackled social issues in works such as Kipps. A vocal opponent of fascism and advocate for socialism, Wells's writings explored utopian ideas amidst the tumult of his time. His legacy includes significant contributions to literature and charity, alongside a complex personal life marked by affairs and political ambitions.
