Beschreibung
A successful author and Liberal MP with a loving and benevolent wife Richard Remington appears to be a man to envy. But underneath his superficial contentment he is far from happy with either his marriage or the politics of his party. The New Machiavelli describes the disarray into which his life is thrown when he meets the young and beautiful Isabel Rivers and becomes tormented by desire. At first he struggles to resist and remain focused upon his familiar political personal and social life. But as he soon learns it is harder than he could have imagined to turn his back on love.

Über den Autor
Hebert George Wells, known as H. G. Wells, was a British author born in 1866. He was a prolific writer, publishing works in many genres, from short stories to social commentaries. However, he is best known for his science fiction novels, leading some to call him the "father of science fiction," or even the "Shakespeare of science fiction!" Wells is known as a futurist, meaning that much of his fiction foresaw changes that have now happened in world. Wells was a socialist and a member of the Fabian society and this political background can be found in his work.
