WELLS H.G.
WOJNA W PRZESTWORZU / THE WAR IN THE AIR
A NOVEL FROM THE NEAR FUTURE
Rewritten. By Stefan Barczewski
First Polish edition!
With twelve engravings!
H.G. Wells's novel "The War in the Air" (originally published in 1908) is one of the classic works of science fiction. Set in a time when aviation was just beginning to take its first steps, air warfare seemed futuristic. However, Wells brilliantly anticipated the development of technology and the military applications of aircraft, describing brutal aerial combat and the global conflict that would erupt as a result of these new technologies.
In the book, the protagonist, living in peaceful England, is accidentally embroiled in a war that threatens the entire world. Wells describes not only the technologies of war but also the philosophical and social consequences of modern warfare, showing how dramatically human lives change as aerial warfare reaches new, previously unheard-of levels. The book explores themes related to militarism, technological progress, and the future of humanity.
"The war in the air" is essential reading for any fan of science fiction and military history. H.G. Wells's book is also an excellent choice for those who want to delve into visions of the future that were still relevant in the first half of the 20th century.
