Herbert Wells

Herbert’s life

Herbert George Wells was born on September 21, 1866 in Bromley, England.
Wells came from a working class background. His father played professional cricket and had a hardware store for a time.
Wells' parents were often worried about his poor health. They were afraid that he might die young. As a boy H. G. Wells had always been physically active.
At the age of 7, Wells had an accident that left him bedridden for several months. During that time, the avid young reader went through many books, including some by Washington Irving and Charles Dickens.

Education

At the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a draper at Windsor. Two years later he became a student assistant at Midhurst Grammar School.
At 18 he won a scholarship to study biology at the Normal School of Science, where T.H. Huxley was one of his teachers.
In the early 1890s, Wells started teaching science classes, which led him to write a biology textbook. He also started writing articles in the popular magazines that were beginning to pop up everywhere.
At the invitation of one of the editors, he began writing science-fiction stories in the mid 1890s.

Marriage

In 1891, Wells married his cousin, Isabel Mary Wells, but the union didn't last for a long time. Wells soon took up with Amy Catherine "Jane" Robbins and the pair married in 1895 after he officially divorced Isabel.
He and Jane had two children together, sons George Philip and Frank. Wells did not let marriage stop him from having other relationships. He had numerous affairs and later lived apart from Jane. His involvement with Amber Reeves resulted in the birth of their daughter Anna-Jane in 1909.
Wells later developed feelings for feminist writer Rebecca West, and they had a son, Anthony, together.

Literary Success

Wells also devoted much time to become a writer.
During his studying at college, he published a short story about travelling called
"The Chronic Argonauts," which foreshadowed his future literary success.

Wells continued to write scientific novels. Later he published “The Island of Doctor Moreau” (1896),
“The Invisible Man” (1897) and “The War of the Worlds” (1898). “The Island of Doctor Moreau” told the story of a man who made experiments on animals, creating new species of creatures. In “The Invisible Man”, Wells explored the life of another scientist after turning himself invisible.” The War of the Worlds”, a novel about an alien invasion, later caused a panic when its adaptation was broadcasted on American radio.
