Science fiction classics at an affordable price

I do not want to say much about the content of the works here. They are all classics of science fiction. "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds" are probably among the most important works of the then still quite young and unconsumed genres.

This edition provides the most important and best-known works of HG Wells:
- The War Of The Worlds (1898)
- The Iceland of Dr. Moreau (1896)
- The Invisible Man (1897)
- The Time Machine (1895)
- The First Men in the Moon (1901)

The most important vornweg: the books are unabridged and unaltered. They correspond to 100% of the texts of HG Wells. The books are (for the English) slightly larger but quite thin paperbacks. The cover also makes a slightly more flexible impression that I'm used to it from the otherwise cheap-looking American paperbacks. But inside again the old picture: Dark paper and not quite as good pressure. The design of the cover and the box is fine. Last is in this price range, of course only a simple unreinforced cardboard.

Contents include all five books for all ages from 10 years - up there is no limit. The writing style is not too complicated to be understood by inexperienced. However, the language is a bit strange, because many of the words used are rarely used today or partly with slightly different meanings. Example: If one thinks today at the word "gay" was the first to homosexuality, it had then a different meaning, although today och applies, but is no longer used. With a little ambition can however very well with these books expand his English vocabulary. Wells used a wide variety of words. There is an adverb and every noun an attribute to almost every verb. A very lively language. In addition, Wells proves here that it need not always be 400 pages and more, to tell a story.

Anyone reading SF and is not afraid of the original English editions, which can / must safely access at this price. Even if you spend a lot more money and wish to acquire older and valuable collector's editions, then they own these books here still good as reading copies to protect the other.
