The Invisible Man - the Life and Liberties of H. G. Wells

For almost half a century H.G. Wells was an international literary phenomenon; the only writer of his time who could command an audience with both Roosevelt and Stalin. Unlike any other biographer of Wells, Coren paints a composite portrait of an extremely varied life set against the social and political background of the time. The Invisible Mandelves deeply into the paradox that was H.G. Wells: the utopian visionary and staunch advocate of women's suffrage versus the misogynistic womanizer and vicious anti-Semite. This book exposes for the first time his disturbing views on "the Jewish problem," views that he defended vehemently even through the 1930s.Michael Coren is the author of 'The Invisible Man - the Life and Liberties of H. G. Wells', published 1994 under ISBN 9780394223322 and ISBN 0394223322.
