Anotace
'Certain Personal Matters' is an intriguing and entertaining collection of essays by H.G. Wells that range from satirical political sketches to scientific speculations. Wells' shorts shed unparalleled light on the author's life such as a harrowing and intimate recollection of his battle with tuberculosis. Many essays discuss topics that remain relevant like social inequalities although Wells uses his humour and wit to ensure these articles remain engaging. Some of the essays contain science fiction material, providing an incredible insight into the author's later ventures into the genre. Among the most interesting essays are 'The Book of Curses' about a man doomed to be unpopular as he collects swear words from people he encounters and 'The Amateur Nature-Lover' that comically ponders where abandoned boots come from. 'Certain Personal Matters' will satisfy Wells readers with its scientific discussions while also providing a different perspective on the celebrated author by portraying his humour. This collection is a must-read for fans of Wells and 'The Twilight Zone'.
