The Triumphs Of A Taxidermist

'The Triumphs of a Taxidermist' is a short story written by Wells that appears to be a concealed satire on the English society, stressing the the theme of human cynicism. The main character doesn't have a name, which is a typical feature of many of Well's works. In the story the Taxidemist boasts about his achievements, which he sees as things he can be proud of... but to a reader they seem very strange. For example he has stuffed a black man in such a way he can use it as a clothes rack. He tells about those works that are fake and the idea of faking things appeals to him.
