    About this audiobook

    "Of Blades and Bladery" by H. G. Wells is a short essay. H. G. Wells once different, humorous social satire and ironic.

    The Blade is not so much a culture as a temperament, and Bladery-if the thing may have the name-a code of sentiments rather than a ritual. It is the rococo school of behaviour, the flamboyant gentleman, the gargoyle life.

    H G Wells

    H.G. Wells (1866–1946) was an English novelist who helped to define modern science fiction. Wells came from humble beginnings with a working-class family. As a teen, he was a draper’s assistant before earning a scholarship to the Normal School of Science. It was there that he expanded his horizons learning different subjects like physics and biology. Wells spent his free time writing stories, which eventually led to his groundbreaking debut, The Time Machine. It was quickly followed by other successful works like The Island of Doctor Moreau and The War of the Worlds.
