概要
The Wonderful Visit
An Invention
by H. G. Wells
Presented by Voices of Today
Narrated by Graham Scott, Andy Harrington, Patrick Barker, Denis Daly and Lillian Rachel.
Many of H. G. Wells' earlier novels had a central emphasis on science fiction and fantasy. In 1895 he published two novels: The Time Machine and The Wonderful Visit. The latter tells the story of an angel who finds himself unexpectedly marooned on Earth.
Wells used John Ruskin's remark that an angel appearing on earth in Victorian England would be shot on sight as the inspiration for this tale of a celestial being who is completely out of place in human society.
Ironically, the angel's first confidant and protector is a clergyman, who never recovers from the eventual and inevitable disappearance of the angel. Wells dwells in detail on the contrast between the glowing idealism of the celestial visitor and the venal discourtesy of his hosts.
