Tales of Space and Time

Tales of Space and Time

Tales of Space and Time is an 1899 collection by H.G. Wells blending science fiction and fantasy. The volume contains four works: "The Crystal Egg," in which a London shopkeeper discovers a mysterious crystal through which Martians observe Earth; "The Star," depicting worldwide panic as a rogue celestial body narrowly misses our planet; "A Story of the Stone Age," following Ugh-Lomi, a prehistoric man's struggle for survival and love among rival tribes; and "The Man Who Could Work Miracles," a satirical tale of an ordinary man granted unlimited miraculous powers, with chaotic consequences. Throughout, Wells displays his visionary imagination and masterful storytelling.
