This is the annotated edition including the rare biographical essay by Edwin E. Slosson called “H. G. Wells — A Major Prophet Of His Time”.
A novel by this well-known author in an entirely new field. A subtle, delicate, and dainty story dealing with the passion of love. The London Morning Post spoke of it as “a work of genius” while the Daily Telegraph says it “ will be considered by many the most fascinating piece of work that Mr. Wells has done.” Literature says: “The handful of vivid hum in figures belong to a great extent to the world of South Kensington students, and into that often purposeless and sordid background Mr. Wells weaves the poetry of life and the beauty of human love.”
