Om denne bog

Man Who Could Work Miracles (without a The) is a 1937 film, ostensibly a comedy, that H.G. Wells scripted late in life for London Film Productions. This work is a literary text of the scenario and dialogue published in advance of the movie''s release. Wells himself says it is "a companion piece" to Things to Come, his deadly serious film done a year before, also produced by Alexander Korda.

The editor''s introduction explains how two such radically different films are related and discusses the artistic quality of the text, Wells'' overriding sense of cosmic vision, his views on sex and politics, and his uncommon estimate of the common man''s incapacity for public affairs. The world''s foremost Wellsian scholar here brings his unique analytical powers to bear on, in the opinion of many, the strangest work Wells ever wrote. The appendices include the 1898 short story version, "The Man Who Could Work Miracles," three related cosmic-vision short stories by Wells, and an excerpt from a 1931 radio address by Wells not inaccurately retitled "If I Were Dictator of the World."
