O autorech

H. G Wells

Herbert George Wells byl anglický spisovatel. Společně s francouzským spisovatelem Julesem Vernem je nazýván "otec science fiction". Do jeho knih se však výrazně promítly také jeho socialistické názory, takže mnohá jeho díla lze považovat za sociálně vědecké utopie. Tento rys jeho tvorby, tj. odklon od beletristické tvorby k tvorbě filosofické a sociální, začal postupně převládat zhruba od roku 1905. Je po něm nazván kráter H. G. Wells na odvrácené straně Měsíce.
