Description: |
Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent's Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells, 'HG' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Has it been a success or a failure? Once he was the most famous writer in the world, 'the man who invented tomorrow'; now he feels like yesterday's man. |
Synopsis: |
A MAN OF CONTRADICTIONS.A MAN OF PASSION.A MAN OF THE FUTURE.Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent's Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells, 'H.G.' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Charting his unpromising start as a draper's assistant to his rapid rise to fame as a writer with a prophetic imagination, his immersion in socialist politics and his belief in and practice of free love, A Man of Parts is an astonishing novel of passion, ambition and controversy. |
