Island of Dr. Moreau

War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man and other novels are pearls in the sky of international science fiction literature and at the top of the most famous novels in this field that are read with passion by millions. But what distinguishes the works of the godfather of science fiction, Herbert George Wells, is that his novels are accepted by everyone, not just science fiction fans. His novels are also exciting adventure novels that raise the imagination to new heights that literature had not known before him. Afaq Publishing and Distribution presents its new translations of Herbert George Wells' novels by Veteran translator, Dr. Shohrat Mahmoud Amin Al-Alam, is a gift to Arabic readers, as we at Afaq believe that Herbert George Wells has never been presented as he should have been presented, and his novels have not been translated accurately and artistically as they deserve.

أديبٌ ومُفكِّرٌ إنجليزي، يُعَدُّ الأبَ الرُّوحيَّ لأَدبِ الخيالِ العلمي. كان ويلز غزيرَ الإنتاجِ في العديدِ من صُنوفِ الأدب، ومِن بَينِها الرِّوايَة، والقِصةُ القصيرة، والأعمالُ التاريخية والسياسية والاجتماعية؛ لكنْ ذاعَ صِيتُهُ ولا نَزالُ نَتذكَّرُهُ حتى اليَومِ مِن خِلالِ رِواياتِ الخيالِ العلميِّ التي كَتبَها، وأهمُّها «آلة الزمن». نَشرَ ويلز أُولى رِوايَاتِهِ المُسمَّاةَ ﺑ «آلة الزمن» عامَ ١٨٩٥م، وقد أَحدَثتْ ضجةً كُبرى وَقتَها في الأوساطِ الثقافية، كما لاقَتْ نجاحًا جماهيريًّا كبيرًا، ثم تَتابعَتْ أعمالُه فَقدَّمَ بَعدَ ذلكَ «جَزيرةُ الدكتور مورو» و«حَربُ العَوالِم» وغَيرَهما، التي حملتْ بعضًا مِن فلسفتِهِ وأفكارِه، وأَظهرَتْ توقُّعاتِهِ لِعالَمِ المُستقبَل.
