'I will go in, out of this dust and heat, out of this dry glitter of vanity, out of these toilsome futilities. I will go and never return.' Three disturbing, mysterious and moving stories from Wells, science-fiction pioneer. Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. H. G. Wells (1866-1946). Wells's works available in Penguin Classics are Ann Veronica, The Country of the Blind and Other Selected Stories, The First Men in the Moon, The Invisible Man, The Island of Doctor Moreau, Kipps, Love and Mr Lewisham, A Modern Utopia, The New Machiavelli, The Shape of Things to Come, A Short History of the World, The Sleeper Awakes, The Time Machine, Tono-Bungay, The War in the Air and The War of the Worlds.… (meer)

An interesting pair of stories. I've seen people complain about how they aren't science fiction (and they're not) but authors often write beyond their core genre, and it's unfair to be disappointed when they do.
The first story might be classed as fantasy, the second is a real world character study. I enjoyed the first more, but both are interesting. ( )

Over the summer I've collected all the Little Black Classics that were published by Penguin to celebrate their 80th birthday! Every now and then I'm reading one of them, and my reviews are mostly some thoughts about each of the books.

I only knew H.G. Wells from his science fiction stories, and then only what I've heard about them. At this point I haven't read any of them. I was a little bit surprised when I was reading this booklet and the two stories featured are no science fiction, the latter which is also the title story doesn't even have any mystery element to it. This said, I didn't think they were bad stories, just not what I had expected from it.

Will I try something else from this author? I'm certainly planning to, but I think I will go for some of the more famous stories next. ( )

These two short stories are by H.G. Wells, so of course I was expecting science fiction. But they were not. The first, "The Door in the Wall," contains some magical, fantastic elements, but they are in a story told to the narrator who never quite decides whether or not he believes them. The second is the title story, and is about class and distinguishing oneself at a prestigious university. Both feature "but what do you really want in life?" kind of decisions. Both feel very true in their understanding of human nature. I'm not normally fond of short stories, but for some reason I ended up fond of both of these. ( )

Two short story form Wells. A mystic one about missed opportunities and a maybe a bit too didactic moraliy story. Not his bests of course, but still an interesting read. ( )
