Socialism and the Family

“Socialism and the Family” contains two essays written by H. G. Wells. The first paper was presented at the Fabian Society in October, 1906, and the other was first published in the “Independent Review”. Combined, they present an exacting picture of the attitude of Modern Socialism to family life. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in Socialism, and it is not to be missed by collectors of Wells' seminal work. Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as “The Time Machine” (1895), “The Invisible Man” (1897), and “The War of the Worlds” (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
