ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A classic of science fiction, the first known novel about alien invasions of Earth.
They have come from outer space, from Mars. Equipped with terrible machines, the invaders land on our planet and begin to sow terror and destruction. Their sole objective is to conquer Earth and turn humans into their slaves. It seems that nothing and no one can stop them.
The War of the Worlds is one of the most influential works of science fiction in history. First published in 1898, it has been adapted for many media, including television, film, video games… and even radio. Especially famous is Orson Welles’s 1938 radio broadcast for causing real panic among listeners.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I have to give you a very serious bulletin. Incredible as it may seem, both scientific observation and the clearest evidence compel us to believe that the strange objects which fell last night in a rural district of Jersey are the advance guard of an invading force from the planet Mars...” Orson Welles, 1938, CBS.
