About this listen

 A curious library stands open at the edge of time. Here, the worlds of H. G. Wells are not merely remembered but awakened, their voices carried once more across the invisible ether. The H. G. Wells Library presents complete readings of tales that peer into futures yet unborn, confront the machinery of progress, and question the destiny of humankind itself. From silent laboratories to distant planets, each episode invites the listener to wander as both observer and traveller, discovering wonders, warnings, and possibilities in equal measure.

Step within, and let the turning of pages become a voyage through evolution, empire, and imagination - for the future, as Wells well knew, begins in the act of listening.Public domain
