Star-Begotten

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

Star Begotten is a 1937 science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells (1866-1946). It tells the story of a series of men who conjecture upon the possibility of the human race being genetically modified by Martians to replace their own dying planet, beginning with Joseph Davis, an author of popular histories, who suspects that he and his family have already been exposed and are starting to change. The first (British) edition of this novel gives the title as two words: Star Begotten. The title is hyphenated in the first U.S. edition: Star-Begotten. The book revisits the idea of the interaction of humans with Martians, which Wells had first (and famously) presented in The War of the Worlds (1898). The dialogue of Star Begotten makes brief references to Wells' earlier novel, referring to it as having been written by "Jules Verne, Conan Doyle, one of those fellows", as well as the concept of Big Brother, later written into George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).
