G.\" Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946)was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a rolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games.Excerpt-As I sit writing in my study, I can hear our Jane bumping her way downstairs with a brush and dust-pan. She used in the old days to sing hymn tunes, or the British national song for the time being, to these instruments, but latterly she has been silent and even careful over her work. Time was when I prayed with fervour for such silence, and my wife with sighs for such care, but now they have come we are not so glad as we might have anticipated we should be. Indeed, I would rejoice secretly, though it may be unmanly weakness to admit it, even to hear Jane sing \"Daisy,\" or, by the fracture of any plate but one of Euphemia's best green ones, to learn that the period of brooding has come to an end.","brand":"Kartindo Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47177467887856,"sku":"2940149206049","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149206049_p0.jpg?v=1763713949","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149206049","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
