Acerca de esta escucha
Raconteurs Audio and Spoken Realms team up once again to bring this second collection of short stories by H. G. Wells to audio. Written between 1894 and 1902, this anthology of 13 stories delves into botany, flying machines, travel, distant lands and customs, virology, magic, taxidermy, journalism - and there’s even a ghost story.
The collection contains:
- “The Dream of Armageddon” - read by Greg Wagland
- “The Sea Raiders” - read by Nigel Patterson
- “In the Avu Observatory” - read by Malk Williams
- “The Plattner Story” - read by Liam Gerrard
- “The Stolen Bacillus” - read by Tim Bruce
- “Aepyornis Island” - read by James Gillies
- “The Purple Pileus” - read by Helen Lloyd
- “The Flowering of a Strange Orchid” - read by Greg Wagland
- “The Moth” - read by Nigel Patterson
- “The Crystal Egg” - read by Malk Williams
- “The Triumphs of a Taxidermist” - read by Liam Gerrard
- “The Obliterated Man” - read by Tim Bruce
- “The Story of the Inexperienced Ghost” - read by James Gillies
Warning: “Aepyornis Island” includes words that, though in common usage at the time, may now cause offense.

H. G. Wells was known as the father of science fiction, but his creative genius encompassed far more that a single literary genre. He was also a visionary, a satirist, a sociologist and an historian. This third audio anthology of H. G. Wells’ Short Stories produced by Raconteurs Audio in collaboration with Spoken Realms, brings together some his lesser known short stories.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 12
Herbert George Wells was one of the most prolific and visionary British writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. H. G. Wells is now best remembered for his science fiction novels, although he wrote across many genres, including nonfiction. His fiction embraces history, science fiction, horror, satire, fantasy, and social commentary. Wells was also a futurist, foreseeing air travel, tanks (as in “The Land Ironclads” - part of this anthology) space travel, nuclear weapons, and even satellite television.

Matthew is a normal 11-year-old boy living with his parents and little sister in Surrey. He's too old and sensible to have an imaginary friend really. Yet when Matthew's parents keep finding him talking and arguing with a strange presence whom Matthew calls Chocky, that's what they believe it must be…at first. But Chocky is oddly sinister, and keeps asking Matthew all sorts of complicated questions about the world and making him behave in unusual and erratic ways. Then Matthew suddenly does something heroic, well beyond his capabilities; the media become interested and the interest in Matthew widens.

In the 1800s, a sailing ship crashes off the coast of Norway. In the 1900s, a Zepellin explores an icy canyon in Antarctica. In the far future, a spaceship sets out for an alien artifact. Each excursion goes horribly wrong. And on every journey, Dr. Silas Coade is the physician, but only Silas seems to realize that these events keep repeating themselves. And it's up to him to figure out why and how. And how to stop it all from happening again.

Disappointed
I love HG Wells, but these were not his greatest works. Some stories just seemed to stop. l don't know whether it was the way it was written, or the narration.
