H.G. Wells - Marriage: "Once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely."

The life of Herbert George Wells, affectionately known as 'Bertie', transformed from a quiet childhood into a prolific literary career following a leg injury that introduced him to the world of books. Renowned for his groundbreaking science fiction, including classics like The Time Machine and War of the Worlds, he also tackled social issues in works like Kipps. His advocacy against fascism and promotion of socialism reflected his complex views on religion. Wells' legacy includes significant contributions to literature, a diabetes charity, and political aspirations, culminating in a distinguished life until his death in 1946.
