Book Description
The War of the Worlds is a novel written by H. G. Wells in 1898, depicting an alien invasion of the earth, and is often regarded as being the first to depict such a disaster. The book tells the story of a Martian invasion of Earth. The Martians, fleeing their own planet because its resources are depleted, invade Earth, landing in England, sweeping through the countryside, destroying or capturing everything in their path. Any effort by the humans to thwart the Martian advance is crushed; the alien invaders seem unstoppable. Since its publication, The War of the Worlds has entered pop.

Book Description
Les martiens attaquent... Voici l'un des premiers classiques du «space opera» en science-fiction moderne. Vous connaissez tous ce grand roman, récemment à nouveau adapté au cinéma. Voici un petit extrait pour vous «mettre en bouche», une vivante description de ces affreux martiens...: «Je voyais maintenant que c'étaient les créatures les moins terrestres qu'il soit possible de concevoir. Ils étaient formés d'un grand corps rond, ou plutôt d'une grande tête ronde d'environ quatre pieds de diamètre et pourvue d'une figure. Cette face n'avait pas de narines - à vrai dire les Martiens ne semblent pas avoir été doués d'odorat - mais possédait deux grands yeux sombres, immédiatement au-dessous desquels se trouvait une sorte de bec cartilagineux. [...] En groupe autour de la bouche, seize tentacules minces, presque des lanières, étaient disposés en deux faisceaux de huit chacun.

The War of the Worlds has since been adapted for radio, television and the silver screen countless times, and it is widely recognized as the bestselling science fiction story of all time.This new edition is oversized for easy handling and printed in a classic easy to read font.
