Description

Chemistry master Gottfried Plattner is blasted from his classroom into a mirror-like other world of strange beings and landscapes, then returns altered in body and mind with a mystery science cannot tidy away. Cosmic wonder meets ordinary schoolrooms. Spoken as when the Plattner story still asks what reality can hold once the other side has already looked back.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
