A MAN OF CONTRADICTIONS.
A MAN OF PASSION.
A MAN OF THE FUTURE.

Sequestered in his blitz-battered Regent''s Park house in 1944, the ailing Herbert George Wells, ''H.G.'' to his family and friends, looks back on a life crowded with incident, books, and women. Charting his unpromising start as a draper''s assistant to his rapid rise to fame as a writer with a prophetic imagination, his immersion in socialist politics and his belief in and practice of free love, A Man of Parts is an astonishing novel of passion, ambition and controversy.
