SCIENCE-FICTION NOVELS IN ENGLISH LITERATURE. H.G.WELLS AND HIS TIME MACHINE

Conclusion
In an interview with The Paris Review, Vladimir Nabokov described Wells as his favourite writer when he was a boy and "a great artist."[152] He went on to cite The Passionate FriendsAnn VeronicaThe Time Machine, and The Country of the Blind as superior to anything else written by Wells's British contemporaries. Nabokov said: "His sociological cogitations can be safely ignored, of course, but his romances and fantasies are superb."[152]
2016 illustrated postal envelope with an image from The War of the Worlds, Russian Post, commemorating the 150th anniversary of the author's birth
Jorge Luis Borges wrote many short pieces on Wells in which he demonstrates a deep familiarity with much of Wells's work.[153] While Borges wrote several critical reviews, including a mostly negative review of Wells's film Things to Come,[154] he regularly treated Wells as a canonical figure of fantastic literature. Late in his life, Borges included The Invisible Man and The Time Machine in his Prologue to a Personal Library,[155] a curated list of 100 great works of literature that he undertook at the behest of the Argentine publishing house Emecé. Canadian author Margaret Atwood read Wells's books,[81] and he also inspired writers of European speculative fiction such as Karel Čapek[150] and Yevgeny Zamyatin.[150]
In 2021, Wells was one of six British writers commemorated on a series of UK postage stamps issued by Royal Mail to celebrate British science fiction.[156] Six classic science fiction novels were depicted, one from each author, with The Time Machine chosen to represent Wells.
