1927 The Plattner Story & Others by H.G. Wells Antique Fiction Book Ernest Benn

The Plattner Story & Others In The Collected Essex Edition Of The Works Of The Author
By H.G. Wells
Published by Ernest Benn Ltd: London 1927
Volume XV

"The Plattner Story and Others forms Volume XV of the Collected Essex Edition of the Works of H. G. Wells, published in London by Ernest Benn Ltd in 1927. This handsome collected edition brought together many of Wells's shorter works, preserving the imaginative stories that helped establish him as one of the most influential writers of early science fiction and speculative literature. The title story, originally published in the 1890s, is a classic example of Wells's fascination with scientific ideas and alternate dimensions, following the strange experience of a schoolmaster who is accidentally transported into a bizarre mirror-like universe after a laboratory explosion.

Alongside The Plattner Story, the volume gathers several other tales that reflect Wells's remarkable ability to blend scientific speculation with sharp social observation and elements of the uncanny. These stories explore themes such as the nature of reality, scientific experimentation, human ambition, and the unsettling possibilities that arise when ordinary life intersects with extraordinary discoveries. Written during the formative years of Wells's career, they demonstrate the inventive narrative voice that would later produce famous works such as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and The Invisible Man.

Issued as part of the attractively produced Essex Edition, this volume reflects the early twentieth-century effort to consolidate Wells's growing literary reputation through uniform collected works. Today it remains a desirable edition for readers and collectors interested in Wells's shorter fiction and the development of modern science fiction, particularly those who appreciate early twentieth-century literary editions of one of Britain's most imaginative and influential authors."
