About this Product
Now in paperback, and accompanied by Edwards Goreys masterful, timelessly haunting illustrations, H. G. Wellss classic story of alien invasion.
When massive, intelligent aliens from Mars touch down in Victorian England and threaten to destroy the civilized world, humanitys vaunted knowledge proves to be of little use. First published in 1898, H. G. Wellss masterpiece of speculative fiction has thrilled and delighted generations of readers, spawned countless imitations, and inspired dramatizations by such masters as Orson Welles and Steven Spielberg. The War of the Worlds is a fantasy that is both startlingly up-to-date and in touch with the most ancient of human fears.In 1960, Edward Gorey prepared a set of his inimitable pen-and-ink drawings to illustrate a new edition of Wellss The War of the Worlds for the legendary Looking Glass Library. Characteristically quirky, elegant, and entrancing, Goreys visual take on Wellss seminal tour de force has been unavailable for close to fifty years. This special hardcover edition from NYRB Classics brings back for todays readers a richly rewarding collaboration between two modern masters of all thats wonderful and strange.
