versch.Aufl. sehr guter Zustand, 338 S., kart. "Als Schriftsteller verbindet Wells utopische Fiktion und Phantastisches mit dokumentarischem Realismus" (Karel Capek). "Ich bewundere Wells als Schriftsteller ungemein, und er hat mich schon sehr früh beeinflusst" (George Orwell). Ein Strassenfeger, der an der us-amerikanischen Westküste eine Massenpanik auslöste, wurde die 1938 erstmals ausgestrahlte Hörspielfassung. Das Buch wurde 2005 von Steven Spielberg unter dem Titel "War of the Worlds" mit Tom Cruise, Tim Robbins, Dakota Fanning und Miranda Otto verfilmt. Wells zuerst 1898 erschienener Science-Fiction-Klassiker war seinerzeit nicht zuletzt als Satire auf die Kolonialpolitik des britischen Empire angelegt, wozu die Rollen von Eroberern und Opfern vertauscht wurden zu Ungunsten der Briten. Spielberg schildert den Stoff aus Sicht einer amerikanischen Familie, die um ihr Leben kämpft. Gramm 600. …

Murry, intended as a mouthpiece for D. H. Lawrence and himself. From 1927 it became a quarterly entitled the New Adelphi. Murry's editorship ended with a D. H. Lawrence memorial number in 1930, and the periodical became the Adelphi, incorporating the New Adelphi, which ran until 1955. Contributors to the three series include W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, A. Bennett, H. G. Wells, Day-Lewis, Orwell, and Auden. (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature. Ed. Margaret Drabble and Jenny Stringer. Oxford university Press, 2007). Spine sun-tanned.

Laufzeit ca. 252 Min. Hier als WortCassette, enth. Tape 1, 2, 3, 4 (= vollständig). Eine sehr pessimistische Zukunftsutopie. Denn obwohl, wie auch George Orwell meinte, Wells der Ansicht war, Wissenschaft könne an sich allen Übeln der Menschheit abhelfen, hielt er die Menschen nicht reif dafür. Der Zeitreisende, der hier einen Bericht seiner Erlebnisse abgibt, ist jedenfalls auf eine düstere Welt gestossen, in der die Menschen von der Wissenschaft (und dem Sicherheits- & Versorgungsstaat) zunächst entmündigt und dann unselbständig und hilflos ihrem Schicksal überlassen wurden. Sprecher: Martin Maria Schwarz. Gramm 200 1.Aufl. dieser Ausg. (EA der zugrundeliegenden Buchausgabe 1895 bei Henry Holt u.d.T. "The Time Machine").…
