Publisher's Synopsis

""When The Sleeper Wakes"" is a science fiction novel written by H.G. Wells. The story is set in the future, where a man named Graham falls into a deep sleep in 1897 and wakes up 203 years later in 2100. He finds himself in a world where society has been transformed by industrialization and the rise of a new ruling class called the ""White Council"". Graham becomes a celebrity due to his unique status as a ""sleeper"" and is soon caught up in a political struggle between the White Council and a group of rebels seeking to overthrow their rule. As he navigates this new world, Graham must confront the ethical dilemmas of his time and the challenges of adapting to a society vastly different from his own. This novel explores themes of power, technology, social class, and the nature of humanity. It is a classic work of science fiction that continues to captivate readers with its imaginative vision of the future.What a wonderfully complex thing! this simple seeming unity--the self! Who can trace its reintegration as morning after morning we awaken, the flux and confluence of its countless factors intenveaving, rebuilding, the dim first stirrings of the soul, the growth and synthesis of the unconscious to the subconscious, the sub-conscious to dawning consciousness, until at last we recognise ourselves again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
