An interesting and entertaining story of life and loves, "The New Machiavelli" will not disappoint fans of Wells work and deserves a place on every bookshelf. Contents include: "The Making Of A Man", "Concerning A Book That Was Never Written", "Bromstead And My Father", "Margaret In London", et cetera. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
