Man of Parts

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.
