Twelve Stories and a Dream by H.G. Wells

This collection gathers a variety of tales—some whimsical, others eerie or philosophical—all marked by the author’s imaginative range. The stories include encounters with the supernatural, strange technologies, and bizarre social experiments. A recurring theme is how ordinary people react to extraordinary events. The “dream” that concludes the book adds a surreal and introspective note. The plots are diverse, with each story offering a fresh lens on human behavior and curiosity.
