Avec Jules Verne, Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) est un des pères fondateurs de la littérature de science-fiction, dont il abordera, souvent en pionnier, nombre des thèmes fondamentaux : le voyage temporel dans La Machine à explorer le Temps, les manipulations biologiques avec L'Île du Dr. Moreau, les pouvoirs surhumains avec L'Homme invisible ou les
invasions extraterrestres dans La Guerre des Mondes.
Socialiste convaincu, H. G. Wells a cherché dans ses écrits à développer un point de vue moral sur la question du progrès scientifique et technologique. Il a ouvert la voie d'une science-fiction véritablement adulte, donnant au genre certains de ses plus immortels chefs-d'oeuvre.

When the Time Traveller courageously stepped out of his machine for the first time, he found himself in the year 802,700--and everything has changed. In another, more utopian age, creatures seemed to dwell together in perfect harmony. The Time Traveller thought he could study these marvelous beings--unearth their secret and then retum to his own time--until he discovered that his invention, his only avenue of escape, had been stolen. H.G. Well's famous novel of one man's astonishing journey beyond the conventional limits of the imagination first appeared in 1895. It won him immediate recognition, and has been regarded ever since as one of the great masterpieces in the literature of science fiction.
