Imagine a world, parallel to our own, into which we can stumble as if by chance. Imagine we could meet ourselves in a perfect world.
On an Alpine expedition Wells and his friend, the Botanist, slip through a space-warp and find themselves on another Earth, on the far side of the galaxy. But this is an Earth run on rational lines, with a world government, common ownership, comprehensive welfare provision, racial and sexual equality and respect for the ecosystem.
No writer imagined more "otherworlds" than H G Wells. This is one of his rare visions of a positive world, but it is one that must be ruled by an elite - the "Samurai", an austere, voluntary nobility, among whom is another Mr Wells.
This is the most comprehensive edition available, with introduction, notes, selected criticism, text summary and chronology of Well's life and times.
