Mr. Britling Sees It Through

Set in the fateful summer of 1914, H.G. Wells’s novel captures a world unaware of the impending catastrophe of World War I. Through the eyes of an intellectual and his American guest, the story explores the clash between British tradition and modern energy, the illusion of security, and the domestic unrest of the Edwardian era. It is a brilliant 'novel of ideas' that offers a profound, satirical, and deeply human look at a society on the verge of a global transformation.
