Herbert George Wells

(1866-1946) was a British novelist, journalist, sociologist and historian, who is best known for his science-fiction novels. His rather romantic interest in science came from his years studying at the Normal School of Science in London. The Time Machine was his first novel and was very successful at the time. The novel is about a man who invents a time machine and devotes his life to travelling through time. His attention to detail makes his work realistic even today.
