Dallincipit del libro:Una delle particolarita minori di questa guerra senza precedenti, e il viaggio alla fronte. Dopo qualche mese di notizie scarse, ridotte, mozzate, cosi che anche il corrispondente di guerra si era scoraggiato al punto di eliminarsi si fece la scoperta, da ambe le parti, che questa era una guerra in cui lOpinione assumeva una parte assai piu importante di quante mai ne avesse avute innanzi. Si penso che, forse, questerbaccia, questa gramigna che cresce per tutto, poteva avere unimportanza decisiva; certo era che i Tedeschi, per lo meno, la coltivavano con molta cura. Cera lopinione nostra, di casa, che si nutre rigogliosamente dei si dice; lopinione dei paesi neutrali; lopinione dei paesi nemici; lopinione che entra in grandi garbugli e crea malintesi e determina svalutazioni errate fra gli Alleati. E tutto risente dellopinione: la fiducia ed il coraggio del nemico; la buona disposizione e lassistenza del neutrale; lo zelo, lo spirito di sacrificio, la serenita della popolazione civile; tutto.

Star Begotten is a 1937 novel by H. G. Wells. It tells the story of a series of men who conjecture upon the possibility of the human race being altered, by genetic modification, by Martians to replace their own dying planet. The first (British) edition of this novel gives the title as two words: Star Begotten. The title is hyphenated in the first U.S. edition: Star-Begotten. The book readdresses the idea of the existence of Martians, which Wells had written about in The War of the Worlds (1898). The dialogue of Star Begotten makes brief references to Wellss earlier novel, referring to it as having been written by "Jules Verne, Conan Doyle, one of those fellows".

The novel dramatizes the contemporary problem of the New Woman. It is set in Victorian era London and environs, except for an Alpine excursion. Ann Veronica offers vignettes of the Womens suffrage movement in Great Britain and features a chapter inspired by the 1908 attempt of suffragettes to storm Parliament.Ann Veronica created a sensation when published in the fall of 1909 because of the feminist sensibilities of the heroine and also because of the affair Wells was having with Amber Reeves, the woman who inspired the novels eponymous character.Although the novel now seems very tame, Ann Veronica was considered a scandalous work by many in its day and was denounced as "capable of poisoning the minds of those who read it" by The Spectator.Ann Veronica was included in the Modern Library in 1917, the year the publishing company was founded. Subsequent Modern Library editions were published in 1926, 1928, and 1933.Ann Veronica was made into a musical in 1969; both the musical and one of the numbers within are titled "Ann Veronica".

Herbert George"H. G."Wells (21 September 1866 13 August 1946) was an English writer. He was prolific in many genres, including the novel, history, politics, social commentary, and textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is called a "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times.Wellss earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he wrote little science fiction, while he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of journalist. Novels like Kipps and The History of Mr Polly, which describe lower-middle-class life, led to the suggestion, when they were published, that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens,[10] but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. A diabetic, in 1934, Wells co-founded the charity The Diabetic Association (known today as Diabetes UK

The seminal masterpiece of alien invasion, The War of the Worlds (1898) conjures a terrifying, tentacled race of Martians who devastate the Earth and feed on their human victims while their voracious vegetation, the red weed, spreads over the ruined planet. After the novel's hero finds himself trapped in what is left of London, despairing at the destruction of human civilization, he discovers that life on Earth is more resilient than he had imagined. Adapted by Orson Welles for his notorious 1938 radio drama and subsequently by many filmmakers, H. G. Wells's timeless story shows no sign of losing its grip on readers' imaginations.
