Publisher's Synopsis
H.G. Wells was one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Wells was a prolific author in many genres including history, politics, and social commentary, but it is his science fiction novels that he is best remembered for. Classics such as The Time Machine, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds earned Wells the nomination for the Nobel Prize on four different occasions. When the Sleeper Wakes, published in 1910, is a dystopian science fiction novel that centers around a man who sleeps for over 200 years and wakes up in London and finds that he is the richest man in the world due to interest on his bank accounts.
