Overview

Romanzo del 1896 nel quale tuttavia ravvisiamo già la progettualità utopica che in Wells è insieme desiderio di giustizia, di ordine, di efficienza raggiungibili solo attraverso un’evoluzione societaria pianificata e controllata.

In una cittadina della provincia inglese il Vicario, esperto ornitologo, spara a un angelo, proveniente evidentemente da un’altra dimensione, credendolo un uccello raro, ferendolo. Lo cura e prende a proteggerlo, ma le velleità di rinnovamento e di giustizia dell’angelo naufragheranno nell’illusione e nell’angoscia per le assurde ingiustizie tipiche del mondo umano fino a condurlo a morte. Pungente la satira wellsiana nei confronti del conformismo e del perbenismo borghese, e persino dell’ottusità del mondo della scienza.

About The Author

H.G. Wells (1866–1946), born Herbert George Wells, was an English author known for not only his popular science fiction books but also works of social commentary, history and biography. His first novel, The Time Machine, was published in 1895. Socially progressive and visionary in intellect, H.G. Wells became one of the most prolific writers of his generation. Through books like The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and War of the Worlds, Wells delved into a plethora of social, philosophical and political ideas through the medium of what we now call science fiction.
