An Englishman Looks At The World — H.G. Wells

“Being a Series of Unrestrained Remarks upon Contemporary Matters,” this 1914 work, inspired by Louis Bleriot's airplane flight across the English Channel, presents iconoclastic opinions on flight, travel, the monarchy, labor, sociology, warfare, divorce, the novel, motherhood, doctors, education, America, science and technology, and the possible collapse of civilization.
