First edition of Wells’ novel of an idea. Octavo, original cloth stamped in blind with gilt titles to the spine and front panel. In very good condition.
Often referred to as the "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback, English writer H.G. Wells was prolific in many genres, publishing dozens of novels and novellas in addition to treatises on social commentary, history, and two books on recreational war games. Presented as a book that has been written as the result of a promise to a dying man, The Research Magnificent explores one man's lifelong perplexity at the failure of human beings to be noble, and his belief that the conquest of fear is the essence of the noble life.
