    One of the most influential science-fiction novels, Wells' classic touches on interplanetary travel, evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and the fears and prejudices of Victorian times.

    Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

As the rays blaze towards them, it soon becomes clear they have no choice but to flee - or die.
