G. Wells&#8217;s Short History of the World was published in 1922, the peak year of Modernism-the year when James Joyce&#8217;sUlyssses and T.S. Eliot&#8217;s The Waste Land appeared. Its author was a novelist who also wrote books about the future, such as The Time Machine, The Invisible Man, The First Men in the Moon. Partly, the scientific and technical future imagined by Wells at the beginnig of the 20th Century has already happened.<br \/>\nThis clearly written and amply illustrated book provides both teachers and students with possible stories about life on earth. Whether these stories follow one another logically, whether evolution is the key word, the readers will decide for themselves.
