👎Give This a Miss💤Borrrriiinnng!Необходимо понимать, книга написана на рубеже 20 века, во время расцвета материализма. Собственно в этом духе и написано сее произведение.
Рассмешило пара моментов, когда автор называет свою страну самой миролюбивый, а Лондон самым великим.
Пустоты и бесыходность главный посыл в произведении..
Примечательно что автор нарочно выбрал именно викария (англиканской церкви) как антигероя.
Отношение к людям и к жизни в духе материализма.
Спустя всего 20 лет разразится сперва первая мировая, а затем вторая мировая, после которых сказки этой книги просто невинность... - Peter Ianshared an impression5 years ago

👍Worth reading🙈Lost On Me🎯Worthwhile💞Loved UpI was thrilled to read this as a young boy. Uh, H.G. Wells made a lasting impression, prompting me to read The Time Machine soon after.
Wells is worth reading, and this is as good a place to start as any other.
Quotes

But who shall dwell in these worlds if they be inhabited?…
Are we or they Lords of the World?…
And how are all things made for man? - † Eliot Ness †has quoted9 years ago
At any rate, whether we expect another invasion or not, our views of the human future must be greatly modified by these events. We have learned now that we cannot regard this planet as being fenced in and a secure abiding place for Man; we can never anticipate the unseen good or evil that may come upon us suddenly out of space. - Michael Bravermanhas quoted9 years ago
The Tasmanians, in spite of their human likeness, were entirely swept out of existence in a war of extermination waged by European immigrants, in the space of fifty years. Are we such apostles of mercy as to complain if the Martians warred in the same spirit?
