Herbert Wells
Herbert George Wells, a novelist and sociologist, was born in Bromley, Kent, in 1866. He completed his schooling in Midhurst, worked for a time as an apprentice to a draper and then in a pharmacy, won a scholarship to the Royal College of Science, and later taught at a college in Cambridge. He passed away in 1946. His first successful book was "The Time Machine" (1895). Two years later, "The Invisible Man" followed. Wells's lifelong passion and motivation for his creative writing was "to create utopias." In his later years, Wells returned to socio-political books, with "The Outline of History" and "The Shape of Things to Come." His "Autobiography" was published in 1934.
