Wells's interests are reflected in his pioneering works of science fiction, which involve time travel, space exploration, alien invasion, and experiments gone awry. A century later, his tales of obsession, revelation, and discovery remain compellingly readable and relevant.\u003cbr\u003eThis anthology offers readers complete and unabridged versions of Wells's most influential novels: \u003ci\u003eThe War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Man.\u003c\/i\u003e In addition, five famous short stories include \"The Country of the Blind,\" \"The Purple Pileus,\" \"The Crystal Egg,\" \"The Door in the Wall,\" and the first tale to address bio-terrorism, \"The Stolen Bacillus.\"\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122734219504,"sku":"9780486809212","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486809212_p0.jpg?v=1763709411","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486809212","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
