In The Time Machine an inventor travels to the remote future where he finds both love and terror. The protagonist of The Invisible Man struggles to come to terms with his condition in a narrative which is by turns comic and tragic. The War of the Worlds imagines planetary conflict from an individual point of view. If these themes reveal the originality of Wells as a thinker, each story displays his skill as a novelist by the ways in which he anchors astonishing events in vivid everyday details of character and place.All three have spawned countless adaptations and imitations but Wells remains the greatest poet of science we have, an inexhaustible source for speculation about the nature of the future and the meaning of the present.

Bere maitalea izandako Martinen hiletan dago Olga. Bertan gogoratzen du berarekin bizi izandako pasio sutsua, gizonak duela urtebete utzi zuen arte. Oroitzapenetan murgilduta, Martinekiko bere mendekotasun emozionalaz ohartzen da, eta horrek agerian uzten dio, bere burua emakume aske eta ahaldundutzat bazuen ere, maitasunarekin beti izan duen kontraesana. Aldi berean, tesi bat zuzentzen dabil Olga irakaslea, emakumeei maitasuna euren bizitzako erdigunea izaten erakutsi zaien moduan sakontzen duena, horretarako Artearen eta Literaturaren historiako zenbait lanetan oinarrituz. Pertsonaiek bizitako esperientziak eta bateko nahiz besteko artistek piztutako gogoetak tartekatuz, nobela anbiziotsu bat osatu du Karmele Jaiok, arin irakurtzen dena baina arrasto sakona uzten duena, nor bere buruari begira hausnarketara bultzatuz.
