  • Alianza Editorial El hombre invisible

    Book SynopsisEscrita en 1897, poco después de ?La máquina del tiempo? (publicada también en esta colección), ?El hombre invisible? -cuyo protagonista ha alcanzado, como Drácula o Frankenstein, un lugar en el imaginario del mundo moderno- da forma definitiva a uno de los motivos que habrían de cobrar más relieve, y en cierto sentido hacerse pavorosa realidad, en el siglo XX: el del uso irreflexivo e inescrupuloso del conocimiento científico y las consecuencias nefastas de ponerlo al servicio de causas egoístas o espurias. Admirado por generaciones de lectores, Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) fue uno de los padres de la ciencia-ficción, trascendiendo sus ágiles relatos la mera anécdota, para transformarse en fábulas imprescindibles de nuestro tiempo.

    Book SynopsisLa invasión de la Tierra por los marcianos a finales del siglo XIX supuso un duro golpe para el hombre, que nunca imaginó tener que vérselas con seres extraterrestres, y menos aún que pudieran ser más inteligentes que él. Los marcianos miran a los hombres como hormigas, pero, cuando ya parece perdida toda esperanza para la humanidad, son destruidos por un medio tan minúsculo como inesperado. Wells supo combinar los resortes de la ciencia ficción con los ingredientes del relato de aventuras, resultando una novela trepidante y emotiva, sin olvidar sus toques de horror y sus reflexiones sobre la condición humana.

L?aire, allà, hi resulta estranyament estimulant, la joventut hi és present sempre, la bellesa es fa visible pertot i l?alegria hi regna. Existeix, realment, aquest jardí encantat capaç de plantar cara a la tediosa existència diària?Certes històries que no són mites en sentit antropològic, que han estat inventades per autors coneguts en períodes d?alta civilització, tenen allò que anomeno ?qualitat mítica?: històries com les del Dr. Jekyll i Mr. Hyde, La porta del mur de Wells o El castell de Kafka.

    Book SynopsisObra que se halla en los inicios de la novela de ciencia-ficción, " La máquina del tiempo " (1895) sigue conservando el mismo poder de fascinación y vigor narrativo que le valieron el éxito inmediato en el momento de su publicación. Afortunada síntesis de los conocimientos científicos del autor, del maquinismo que hacía furor en la época y de la visión escéptica de Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) respecto al rumbo tomado por la sociedad que le tocó vivir, el relato (un clásico) describe un futuro inquietante en el que dos razas semibestiales, los eloi y los morlock, comparten en una peculiar simbiosis un planeta extraño y desolado sobre el que se han cernido catástrofes y transformaciones, pero en el que brilla aún, como tenue esperanza, un hálito de humanidad.

    Book SynopsisIn 1937, H. G. Wells proposed a predigital, freely available World Encyclopedia to represent a civilization-saving World Brain.In a series of talks and essays in 1937, H. G. Wells proselytized for what he called a World Brain, as manifested in a World Encyclopedia--a repository of scientifically established knowledge--that would spread enlightenment around the world and lead to world peace. Wells, known to readers today as the author of The War of the Worlds and other science fiction classics, was imagining something like a predigital Wikipedia. The World Encyclopedia would provide a summary of verified reality (in about forty volumes); it would be widely available, free of copyright, and utilize the latest technology. Of course, as Bruce Sterling points out in the foreword to this edition of Wells's work, the World Brain didn't happen; the internet did. And yet, Wells anticipated aspects of the internet, envisioning the World Brain as a technical system o
