War of the Worlds

The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau and other novels are pearls in the sky of world science fiction literature and at the top of the most famous novels in this field, which 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 the novels of Herbert George Wells by veteran translator Dr. Shohrat Mahmoud Amin Al-Alam, a gift to Arabic readers, as we believe in Afaq 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.
Herbert George Wells was an English writer, born in 1866. He studied biology, and was attracted by scientific circles in conjunction with his interest in social reforms. He decided to write from the beginning in science fiction. He began with the novel The Time Machine, which was a great success, and then his novels continued. Wells was a prolific writer. He died in 1946. In his novels, Wells predicted scientific discoveries that came true years later. The success of his novels increased and increased over the years, and his works were transformed into many cinematic works that met with unparalleled success. The War of the Worlds has been presented in cinematic works and serial episodes several times.

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.
