Select Conversations with an Uncle by H.G. Wells

This collection features a series of fictional dialogues between a young narrator and his witty, opinionated uncle. Their conversations cover everything from literature and fashion to philosophy and society, delivered with dry humor and intellectual charm. Each piece is a small narrative, often ending in a twist of irony or self-deprecation. The plot of each is minimal, but the voice is consistently sharp and engaging. It’s a lively and amusing portrait of late Victorian thought in miniature form.
