LA GUERRA DE LOS MUNDOS (OBELISCO)

The War of the Worlds is one of the great classics of science fiction, a narrative that opened up unexpected paths for the modern imagination. In its pages, H. G. Wells describes the invasion of Earth by beings from another planet, equipped with relentless machines and unstoppable technology. Humans, proud of their science, suddenly discover their fragility in the face of an incomprehensible force. Fear, chaos and flight mark the experience of the protagonists, caught up in an unequal struggle. The story becomes a metaphor for human vulnerability and arrogance in the face of the universe. Published in 1898, the work anticipates with astonishing lucidity the conflicts, fears, and dilemmas of the 20th century. Its narrative tension keeps the reader in suspense, allowing no respite or comfort. Beyond adventure, Wells offers a reflection on the survival and destiny of humanity. The War of the Worlds, an essential classic, remains today a warning, a dark fable about the limits of progress.
