Description:
The Happy Turning: A Dream of Life is one of H. G. Wells’s last books, published in 1945, a year before his death. It is a short series of dream-walks through an imagined afterlife, in which Wells reflects on religion, mortality and the war years, including his well-known distaste for the doctrine of the Trinity. It appeared alongside Mind at the End of Its Tether, and the two are generally read together as his final statements. The front cover carries Wells’s facsimile signature and a small cherub vignette on a navy panel. This copy is in the original pink boards backed in dark blue cloth. The boards show toning and spotting, and the lower fore-corner is bumped. It is a collectable late work by a major author.
