Beschreibung
In twenty-second-century London, the young heiress Elizabeth rejects her father's chosen suitor in favor of the lower-middle-class Denton.
Determined they can live off love, the two elope to live in the abandoned countryside, but soon find the place too wild to inhabit. Readers discover the inner workings of this future society's class hierarchy through the couple's social decline. Can their love survive such conditions, and can they overcome their hardships for a chance at happiness?
First published in 1899, this dystopian novella showcases H.G. Wells's talent for accurately predicting the future of society while also capturing the persistent faults of human nature.
This unabridged reprinting of A Story of the Days to Come is part of The Port of Planets H.G. Wells Collection.
