Overview
Describe una invasión marciana en la Tierra. Wells cuestiona la fe del hombre en su superioridad y la vanidad de creerse el único habitante del universo.
A fines del siglo XIX, en pleno auge del positivismo, había una fe ciega en la ciencia y en los científicos. El hombre pensaba que era el único ser viviente en el universo, pero no era así: desde Marte, nuestros vecinos miraban el planeta Tierra con ojos codiciosos. Ellos habían entrado en la etapa del enfriamiento, y ya no tenían animales, ni plantas ni diferencia en las estaciones. Nosotros teníamos todo eso, y lo que no sabíamos era que ellos poseían una Inteligencia superior a la nuestra. Después de observarnos a diario, decidieron llevar a la práctica sus planes: comienza la invasión con el lanzamiento de extraños cilindros que parecen estrellas fugaces en el cielo. Vienen por nuestro planeta, vienen por nosotros.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
For more than one hundred years H. G. Wells’ classic science fiction tale of the Martian invasion of Earth has enthralled readers with a combination of imagination and incisive commentary on the imbalance of power that continues to be relevant today.
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own....
So begins The War of the Worlds, the science fiction classic that first proposed the possibility of intelligent life on other planets and has enthralled readers for generations. This compelling tale describes the Martian invasion of earth. When huge, tireless creatures land in England, complete chaos erupts. Using their fiery heat rays and crushing strength, the aliens just may succeed in silencing all opposition. Is life on earth doomed? Will mankind survive? A timeless view of a universe turned upside down, The War of the Worlds is an ingenious and imaginative look into the possibilities of the future and the secrets yet to be revealed.
