In The Days Of The Comet is a science fiction novel written by H.G. Wells. The story is set in England during the early 20th century, and follows the life of a young man named William Leadford. William is a socialist and an idealist, who is disillusioned with the world around him. However, his life takes a dramatic turn when a comet passes over the Earth, releasing a mysterious gas that alters the consciousness of humanity. As a result of the gas, people become more empathetic and compassionate towards one another, leading to a utopian society. However, William finds himself struggling to adapt to this new world, as his previous beliefs and values are challenged. He also falls in love with a woman named Nettie, who is torn between her loyalty to her family and her newfound feelings for William. The novel explores themes of love, politics, and societal change. It is a thought-provoking and insightful work that provides a unique perspective on the potential for human transformation.I thought the comet no more than a nuisance then because I wanted to talk of other matters. But Parload was full of it. My head was hot, I was feverish with interlacing annoyances and bitterness, I wanted to relieve my heart by some romantic rendering of my troubles -- and I gave but little heed to the things he told me. It was the first time I had heard of this new speck among the countless specks of heaven, and I did not care if I never heard of the thing again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
