《世界大戰（科幻史最經典的末日預言）》他們來了——從火星而來。火焰、機械與死亡，席捲整個世界。這不是戰爭，是人類滅亡的開始。●威爾斯曾於1921年、1932年、1935年和1946年四次獲得諾貝爾文學獎提名●本書多次改編電影，包括2005年由史蒂芬．史匹柏執導，湯姆．克魯斯主演的《世界大戰》。●《世界大戰》被視為科幻文學的奠基之作，首次以現代視角描繪外星人入侵的情節，開創了「入侵文學」的先河 。當火星人降臨地球，人類文明的驕傲瞬間崩塌。一場跨越星球、超越種族的生存戰悄然揭幕。這部劃時代的經典，開創了現代科幻文學的先河，也是一場對科技驕傲與人類渺小的深刻反思。好評推薦：將該書描述為科幻文學的里程碑，並指出它啟發了無數的改編作品和模仿者 。──《大英百科全書》儘管《世界大戰》被多次改編為廣播、電影和舞台劇，但原著小說本身的文學價值不應被忽視，為「科幻經典」。──《衛報》書評人Ben East《隱形人》隱形的能力、魔力，與權力，究竟會讓人瘋狂到什麼地步？科幻小說之父H. G. 威爾斯代表作《隱形人》、《透明人》、《天降奇兵》等無數電影靈感來源陷入瘋狂的，究竟是一個人，還是整個世界？《隱形人》的故事並不複雜，威爾斯從不故弄玄虛。一個陌生怪客，某天突然來到英國小村，由於他舉止怪異，招來人們議論，隨後，小村開始發生種種怪事……不被看見的隱形人，既是一個至高無上的恐怖權力，也是一種不被社會接納、注定走向毀滅的孤身隱喻。H. G. 威爾斯的作品不單只是述說某個科學奇想，更重要的是他試圖透過故事傳達其社會思想與哲理，以及對人類道德的深刻批判。正是在這一點上，他啟發了後世無數科幻作家，奠定了科幻文學的反思性格及反烏托邦主題，也因此被稱為「科幻小說之父」。在引人入勝的詭譎情節中，威爾斯生動地描繪了瘋人的心理過程與人們的集體恐慌，雙方各有可憐可惡之處，在讀者心中上演一場激烈的道德辯論。《隱形人》得以名列經典，成為科幻史的不敗題材。《時間機器》穿梭八十萬年後的世界科幻小說誕生元年．開創時間旅行之作●科幻小說之父－－赫伯特．喬治．威爾斯代表作●本書於1895年出版，被評為是科幻小說誕生元年●科幻小說經典之作，首次出現「時間旅行」主題●空想浪漫又符合現實的科幻小說，被稱為「威爾斯定律」好評推薦：「如果威爾斯從未存在過，我們所有人的思想以及物質世界都會明顯不同。」——《動物農莊》作者喬治．歐威爾「
