Through Mr. Britling's experiences, the novel offers a poignant reflection on the human cost of war and the importance of finding hope and meaning in the face of tragedy.1916. Mr. Britling was one of the representative thinkers upon which society decided to inform itself. He did not appear like one would think such a distinguished English gentleman should. His mustache, his hair, his eyebrows bristled; his flaming freckled face seemed about to bristle, too. His little hazel eyes came out with a �������ping.������� Mr. Britling was one of a large, but remarkable, class of people who seem at the mere approach of photography to change their hair, their clothes, their moral natures. No photographer had ever caught a hint of his essential Britlingness or bristlingness, but H.G. Wells certainly does in this fabulous novel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
