The book offers a thorough study of the literary tensions and two-world structure of the fantastic short stories by H. G. Wells (1866-1946). It exposes trickster games in the storytelling and pinpoints Wells’s staple methods of artistic composition - the mounting of various literary tensions built upon the body of traditional, dexterously combined genre elements and innovative topoi.
