Wells's most celebrated works of social fiction, showcasing his remarkable range as a novelist and his sharp, satirical eye for Edwardian society. The Wonderful Visit chronicles the chaos that ensues when an angel crash-lands in a sleepy English village, using the conceit of an otherworldly outsider to skewer human pettiness and social convention with biting wit. Kipps follows the comic and poignant misadventures of a draper's assistant who unexpectedly inherits a fortune, illustrating the cruel absurdities of the British class system with warmth and irony. The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman presents a sharp feminist critique through the story of a wealthy woman's awakening to independence and self-determination, while Love and Mr. Lewisham details the romantic and intellectual struggles of a young scholarship student torn between ambition and desire. Together, these four novels demonstrate Wells's enduring power as a chronicler of ordinary lives caught in the machinery of a society resistant to change, making this collection an essential volume for any admirer of classic British literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820227866843,"sku":"2026200006403-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3da767d6-3f6d-466b-902f-fcf2baf6eda1.png?v=1780054728","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006403-secondhand-works-of-h-g-wells-the-wonderful-visit-kipps-the-wife-of-sir-isaac-harman-love-and-mr-lewisham-plus-14-other-short-stories","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
