«La guerra de los mundos» is the science fiction novel by Herbert George Wells, published by Seix Barral in hardback (204 pages, in Spanish).
A cylinder fallen from space lands on the outskirts of London. From it emerge Martians who, with a heat ray and enormous war machines, sow destruction. Wells narrates in an almost journalistic tone humanity's struggle against a threat that seems unbeatable.
This 1984 edition belongs to the collection Obras maestras de la literatura contemporánea (no. 49), with a translation by Ramiro de Maeztu. «La guerra de los mundos» was originally published in 1898.
For readers of classic science fiction and for those who want to discover a work that opened the vein of extraterrestrial invasions.
Herbert George Wells was an English writer, prolific in many genres. He wrote more than forty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells is most known today for his groundbreaking science fiction novels; he has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction", a title that has also been given to Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.
