Sobre este artículo
London: Macmillan and Co. Limited, 1913. Hardback. Very Good. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [viii], 356, [12 adverts]. Vertically ribbed sage green cloth, spine and upper board lettered in gilt, decoratively blind-stamped. Top edge gilt. Spine gently sunned, wear and bruising to extremities, joints rubbed. Endpapers toned and foxed, pencil POI to ffep, occasional pencil scoring to margins, a few marks, gently shaken. Else, clean. A robust copy. Dedicated, mysteriously, to "L. E. N. S.": possibly, it has been suggested, Elizabeth von Arnim, who had become Wells' lover in 1910. The novel had been serialised in The Grand Magazine (March-Nov. 1913). Despite Wells later referring to it as "gawky," the novel went on to be adapted twice for the British screen, first, in 1922 by the Stoll Film Company and again in 1949 by David Lean. It is also notable as the first example of Wells' notion of an "open conspiracy": his "scheme to thrust forward and establish a human control over the destinies of life and liberate it from its present dangers, uncertainties and miseries".
