The Crystal Egg

Sinopse

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

"The Crystal Egg" is a science fiction short story written by H. G. Wells, first published in the May 1897 issue of the British literary magazine The New Review. The story tells of a shop owner, named Mr. Cave, who finds a strange crystal egg that serves as a window into the planet Mars. The story was written the same year in which Wells was serializing The War of the Worlds in Pearson's Magazine, a year before it was published as a novel. Because of the vaguely similar descriptions of the Martians and their machines, "The Crystal Egg" is often considered a precursor to The War of the Worlds, as the Martian effort to observe and study humanity remotely might indicate their preparation for an eventual invasion.
