I completely agree! H.G. Wells really had a unique ability to capture the essence of human nature and the complexities of society in such a simple yet profound way. What do you think makes his stories still so relevant today, even though they were written so long ago?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Wells truly had a way of blending imagination with profound ideas. Which of the three stories resonated with you the most, and why do you think it stands out compared to modern storytelling?
I completely agree, these stories are truly gems and showcase H.G. Wells' incredible talent. It's amazing how he captures timeless themes so brilliantly. Which of the stories do you think stands out the most for you, and why?
Great reading! Truly enjoy how you change your intonation so that the listener can tap into the story’s emotion. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Reminds me of those old time radio dramas and “the theater of the mind”. 👏🏾👏🏾 Appreciated!
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback! Those old-time radio dramas truly had a unique way of immersing listeners. What do you think makes storytelling through audio so captivating compared to visual formats?
So rare to see this late 18th century sci fi. I really enjoyed these. Interesting to see how much more focused on biology they were than modern sci fi.
Thank you for your kind words! It's always such a pleasure to find stories that truly captivate both in the telling and the reading. H.G. Wells has a unique way of blending imagination with reality, don't you think? What part of his stories resonates with you the most-his exploration of human nature or the way he predicts future advancements?
I'm so glad you enjoyed the readings! H. G. Wells has such a unique way of blending the fantastical with thought-provoking themes. Which story from this collection left the most impact on you? Do you think the messages in his stories are still relevant today?
You're welcome! I always find it fascinating how H. G. Wells' stories can still be so relatable today. Which one of the three stories stood out to you the most? Do you think his take on human nature is still relevant to modern society?

What do you think his most thought-provoking story is? Have you ever thought about how some of the themes he explored in the past might reflect issues we're facing now?
very good reading, especially the last story, which was the best, i think. i’m not sure i already said this, but it is so fab to find finally someone who reads scifi stories so well so to be enjoyable to listen to. Thanks much. :) 🔬🔭🚀🌷🌱
I just discovered your channel William. You have a fantastic voice! Thank you for reading these classic short stories, most of them I am unfamiliar with, but not the authors. Best regards from across the pond! 👍👍👏👏👏
The Time Machine... While there are various movies based on it, our favorite: 1960 film “The Time Machine.” Rod Taylor (who played H. George Wells), Alan Young (who played David Filby), and Yvette Mimieux (who played Weena)
I was thinking much the same thing. He truly “saw the future” before its time. The description of a petrol-driven, fixed-wing, propeller (screw) aeroplane was years ahead of its time! Maybe he did have a Time Machine! 😉 Very well read short stories that put feeling into the narrative.
Originally it was to highlight the different parts of language (nouns, verbs, etc.) for general interest and for non-native English listeners. However, I ditched it after a few videos because it didn't really have the desired effect and only made it harder to read. So now all the videos just have simple white text.
I enjoy your work and you narrate with excellent tone and affect. Would you consider a location that would render less of an “echo” for your reading? I am hoping you will find this feedback helpful.
Thanks for saying so. These stories were recorded quite a while ago - now I have improved my setup to avoid too much reverb from the room. It's not perfect yet, but more recent stories are less echo-ey. Hopefully at some point I'll have a new space and setup for even better quality. Thanks again!
These stories a gems and underline Wells' genius. Beautifully read.
I really enjoyed discovering and sharing them. Thanks for the comment!

19th century
@@PenRippyJr Lel... writing fiction has stripped me of the ability to add and subtract by one.
H G Wells studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley.
@@tristrambrelstaff4850interesting fact to know.

@@storiesfromtheskyslightly gay though 😅
Wells was ahead of his time; ie his story about the 'first' flight.. He wrote more than the classis War of the Worlds.
The Time Machine...
While there are various movies based on it, our favorite: 1960 film “The Time Machine.”
Rod Taylor (who played H. George Wells), Alan Young (who played David Filby), and Yvette Mimieux (who played Weena)

Very well read short stories that put feeling into the narrative.
H G Wells Stories are Timeless and worth reading as Bedtime Stories to older Children instead of TV, or just for personal pleasure?
They certainly are!
❤
The cursed Henry Kissinger once said that academic disputes are so vicious because the stakes are so small
Old Henry has finally come to his ... end now.
Is the stakes were small, why would they evoke such strong emotional responses?
@@conephompanybecause, given the innocuous outcome of such debates, one can afford to be vicious without the threat of any harm coming to anyone.
Cursed?
By cursed do you mean greedy evil monster?
He was evil incarnate .
Is there a purpose to the choice of colour switching for the words?

A short story by ME.
A long time ago, there lived a man called Alan. Then he died.
Watt is that you say?
