Well let me explain you more about that author: Herbert George Wells was a novelist, a writer, an historian and a philosopher. But he was famous because of his books. In 1874 he suffered an accident that left him on bed with a broken leg while this he started to read and then he wanted to write something. During his career he wrote a lot of books like: The Outline of History; The country of the blind; The invisible men; The first men in the moon and The Time Machine. He was married with his cousin Isabel Mary Wells but they got divorced. He had four kids. An interesting fact is that he was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature four times.
