REDISCOVER GREAT FICTION. Visit our Red Classics mini-site to find out more



Experience the H.G.Wells experience
This March
, The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and many more of H. G. Wells's masterpieces are coming exclusively to Penguin Classics.

Wells was a phenomenal writer - inventing science fiction, critiquing socialism and colonialism, battling with the meaning of equality and seduced by the possibilities of science to change the way we live. His writing is invigorating, witty and incendiary - and powerfully influential.

These new Penguin Classics editions feature introductions by high-profile writers, including Margaret Atwood, David Lodge and China Mieville, and artwork commissioned especially for these stunning new covers. With Steven Spielberg's film of The War of the Worlds coming in spring 2005, and a National Film Theatre Wells season running in the summer, now's the time to discover the genius of H. G. Wells.

For more news, features, and competitions about H. G. Wells, visit penguinclassics.co.uk again in March.
