The Stolen Bacteria

Herbert Wells is not only the author of iconic novels but also a master of short prose. His stories are like windows into the future, revealing the mysteries of time, space, and the soul. Encounters with unknown relics preserved since ancient times, secrets that await humanity at the bottom of the ocean, portals to other worlds, tragedies of unrecognized geniuses, and much more are all present in this book. The collection includes "In the Abyss," "The Blooming of the Strange Orchid," "The Island of the Epiornis," "The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes," and other stories, as well as the later novella "The Croquet Player."
