H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds is a work of creative genius, and in
many respects we are still living today in the imaginative landscape
that Wells shaped in this classic of early science fiction. This
parallel text edition of The War of the Worlds will provide both a
stimulating subject and simple reading pleasure for students of either
French or English, and it will also be useful to more seasoned
comparatists who are interested in pursuing a close study of the
original and its French translation, presented in a conveniently
accessible form.
