Wells, one of the 20th Century’s greatest writers—author of The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man—wrote The Open Conspiracy to express his ideas about how a peaceful and cooperative world community could bring happiness and prosperity to all the inhabitants of the earth.

Ein Vater, ein neugieriger Junge – und ein seltsamer kleiner Laden voller Magie mitten in London. In Der Zauberladen von H. G. Wells geraten Wirklichkeit und Illusion aus dem Gleichgewicht: Spielzeuge werden lebendig, Spiegel zeigen Unmögliches, und plötzlich ist nicht mehr klar, was Traum ist – und was Wahrheit. Diese fein gesponnene Kurzgeschichte überrascht mit Fantasie, leiser Ironie und einem Hauch Melancholie. Alexander Wohnhaas verleiht dem Text die passende Stimmung – mal verspielt, mal unheimlich – und macht dieses Hörbuch zu einem kleinen literarischen Zauberstück.

WILL THE EMPIRE LIVE?: What will hold such an Empire as the British together, this great, laxly scattered, sea-linked association of ancient states and new-formed countries, Oriental nations, and continental colonies? What will enable it to resist the endless internal strains, the inevitable external pressures and attacks to which it must be subjected This is the primary question for British Imperialism; everything else is secondary or subordinated to that.
