The Gate in the Wall

The novels of Wells are known to every literature enthusiast, but he is equally talented in short prose. Wells wrote numerous magnificent short stories — the embodiment of the most diverse ideas. In his stories, there is always a place... for wonder — in a shop with children's toys ("The Magic Shop"), behind a gate on a city street ("The Gate in the Wall"), in a bar during a friendly argument ("The Man Who Could Work Miracles") and in distant countries, in the least explored corners of the world ("The Country of the Blind"). His characters encounter ghosts ("The Red Room"), spend a night with fairies ("Mr. Skelmersdale in Fairyland"), find themselves in another dimension ("The Stolen Body") or, on an ordinary day, receive as a gift from a stranger in a train carriage an Apple from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil... The collection also includes the novella "50 Thousand Years Ago. A Story from the Stone Age."
