Lengthy personal inscription from previous owner on Vol. II fep. Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 - 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote more than fifty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography and autobiography. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and has been called the "father of science fiction." A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. Brian Aldiss referred to Wells as the "Shakespeare of science fiction", while Charles Fort called him a "wild talent". Wells was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times. James Francis "Frank" Horrabin (1 November 1884 - 2 March 1962) was an English socialist and radical writer and cartoonist. For two years he was Labour Member of Parliament for Peterborough. He attempted to construct a socialist geography. He illustrated H. G. Wells' The Outline of History in 1920. Raymond William Postgate (6 November 1896-29 March 1971) was an English journalist and social historian. The Outline of History, subtitled either "The Whole Story of Man" or "Being a Plain History of Life and Mankind", is a work by H. G. Wells chronicling the history of the world from the origin of the Earth to the First World War. It appeared in an illustrated version of 24 fortnightly installments beginning on 22 November 1919 and was published as a single volume in 1920. It was translated into many languages, and had a considerable impact on the teaching of history in institutions of higher education. Wells modeled the Outline on the Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot. Many revised versions were published during Wells's lifetime, and the author kept notes on factual corrections which he received from around the world. The last revision which was published during his lifetime was published in 1937. In 1949, an expanded version was produced by Raymond Postgate, who extended the narrative so it could include the Second World War, and later, he published another version which extended the narrative up to 1969. Postgate wrote that "readers wish to hear the views of Wells, not those of Postgate," and he endeavored to preserve Wells's voice throughout the narrative. In later editions G. P. Wells, the author's son, updated the early chapters about prehistory in order to make them reflect current theories. The final edition appeared in 1971, but earlier editions are still in print. Wells saw in the bards who were, he believed, common to all an important "consequence of and a further factor in [the] development of spoken language which was the chief factor of all the human advances made in Neolithic times. . . . they mark a new step forward in the power and range of the human mind," extending the temporal horizons of the human imagination. He saw in the ancient Greeks another definitive advance of these capacities, "the beginnings of what is becoming at last nowadays a dominant power in human affairs, the 'free intelligence of mankind'." The first individual he distinguishes as embodying free intelligence is the Greek historian Herodotus. The Hebrew prophets and the tradition they founded he calls "a parallel development of the free conscience of mankind." Much later, he singles out Roger Bacon as a precursor of "a great movement in Europe . . . toward reality" that contributed to the development of "intelligence". But "[i]t was only in the eigh. J. F. Horrabin (Maps) (ilustrador).

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 13 August 1946) was an English writer. Prolific in many genres, he wrote more than fifty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells' science fiction novels are so well regarded that he has been called the "father of science fiction". In addition to his fame as a writer, he was prominent in his lifetime as a forward-looking, even prophetic social critic who devoted his literary talents to the development of a progressive vision on a global scale. As a futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. Wells was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times. Raymond William Postgate (6 November 1896 29 March 1971) was an English socialist, writer, journalist and editor, social historian, mystery novelist, and gourmet who founded the Good Food Guide. In the late 1920s and early 1930s he published biographies of John Wilkes and Robert Emmet and his first novel, No Epitaph (1932), and worked as an editor for the Encyclopædia Britannica. The Outline of History, subtitled either "The Whole Story of Man" or "Being a Plain History of Life and Mankind", is a work by H. G. Wells chronicling the history of the world from the origin of the Earth to the First World War. It appeared in an illustrated version of 24 fortnightly installments beginning on 22 November 1919 and was published as a single volume in 1920. It was translated into many languages, and had a considerable impact on the teaching of history in institutions of higher education. Wells modeled the Outline on the Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot. Revised versions were published during Wells's lifetime, and the author kept notes on factual corrections which he received from around the world. The last revision which was published during his lifetime was published in 1937. In 1949, an expanded version was produced by Raymond Postgate, who extended the narrative so it could include the Second World War, and later, he published another version which extended the narrative up to 1969. Postgate wrote that "readers wish to hear the views of Wells, not those of Postgate," and he endeavored to preserve Wells's voice throughout the narrative. In later editions G. P. Wells, the author's son, updated the early chapters about prehistory in order to make them reflect current theories: previous editions had, for instance, given credence to Piltdown Man before it was exposed as a hoax. The latest edition appeared in 1971. In the years leading up to the writing of The Outline of History, Wells was increasingly preoccupied by history, as many works testify. During World War I, he tried to promote a world history to be sponsored by the League of Nations Union, of which he was a member. But no professional historian would commit to undertake it, and Wells, in a financially sound position thanks to the success of Mr. Britling Sees It Through and believing that his work would earn little, resolved to devote a year to the project. Wells relied heavily on the Encyclopædia Britannica (11th ed., 1911), and standard secondary texts. He made use of the London Library, and enlisted as critical readers "a team of advisers for comment and correction, chief among them Ernest Barker, Harry Johnston, E. Ray Lankester, and Gilbert Murray. The sections were then rewritten and circulated for further discussion until Wells judged that they had reached a satisfactory standard." The bulk of the work was writt. J. F. Horrabin (Maps and Plans) (ilustrador).

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. Book Club Edition. H.G. Wells is remembered today as the science fiction writer who created "The War of The Worlds." Performed as a radio play, it struck panic in a large population of American people in 1938. But Wells was a very prolific writer of both fiction and n…on-fiction. This featured two-volume work might, in fact, be the most important work available for today's global population, who are panic struck about climate change, worldwide political movements, and other changes taking place that seem out of our control. In about 1920, he published "The Outline of History," that became at once very popular. It was translated into numerous languages and sold more than 2 million copies world-wide. Wells' purpose was to tell, "truly and clearly, in one continuous narrative, the whole story of life and mankind, so far as it is known today." He produced several revisions during his lifetime to keep it current. He worked to make sure it was written plainly for the general reader. The last revision in his lifetime was in 1937. It has many interesting perspectives on the thinking and actions of different leaders and cultures of different times. H.G. Wells, in full Herbert George Wells, (1866-1946), English novelist, journalist, sociologist, and historian best known for such science fiction novels as The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, comic novels as well as this history. A relevant example for us today is his description of "Muhammad and Islam," which begins in Volume I, page 475 and continues into the beginning of the second volume. It would also do well for mankind of the earth today to read what Wells discovered about climate change, with no bias toward political or financial gain. Many revised versions were produced during Wells's lifetime, and the author kept notes on factual corrections he received from around the world. The last revision in his lifetime was published in 1937. In 1949 an expanded version was produced by Raymond Postgate, who extended the narrative to include the Second World War, and later revisions up to 1969. Postgate wrote that "readers wish to hear the views of Wells, not those of Postgate," and endeavoured to preserve Wells's voice throughout. This two-volume, book club edition, was revised and updated in 1961 by Raymond Postgate to bring the work up-to-date, to include World War II. Each volume is about 6? x 8 ½? x 1 ½? and bound in red paper-covered boards. This set retains the original dust jackets, which differ only by the designation of Volume I or II on the spines. The top edge of the panel across the front of each dust jacket notes "over two million copies published." Volume I runs from i-xx, then page 1 to 504; Volume II from 505 to 1027 including an extensive chronological table and index. Both volumes in this set look as if they?ve sat on the shelf for all these years, with only slight signs of shelf-wear but one major flaws or damage to volume One: half a page was torn out of end papers of volume One. Minor nicks along edges & sun faded spines of DJs. Both volumes are tight and square. There is red-tint highlighting the top edges of the pages. The text itself is complete, clean and unmarked, however a POS on ffep of Volume 1 and stain on ffep of volume 2. . The dust jackets as might be expected show a bit of shelf wear and yellowing with age. The dust jackets have tears stabilized with tape. This is a complete set of one of Wells major works. It should also be noted that Wells' talent and skill as a writer is in evidence throughout and still relevant today. Copyrights 1961, 1956, 1949, 1940, 1931 & 1921.
