In the Days of the Comet

What if one moment could change the fate of humanity forever?

In the Days of the Comet (1906), by H. G. Wells, is a bold and imaginative novel that blends romance, politics, and science fiction in a sweeping vision of human renewal.

The story follows William Leadford, a young man embittered by poverty and jealousy, on the eve of personal despair and global upheaval. But when a mysterious green comet passes close to Earth, its strange gases alter the very nature of human consciousness. Hatred, greed, and conflict dissolve, replaced by clarity, compassion, and a collective vision of peace.

Told through William's transformation—from anger and despair to love and enlightenment—the novel explores themes of redemption, social justice, and the possibility of a truly harmonious world.

Part utopian philosophy, part personal confession, and part love story, In the Days of the Comet remains one of Wells' most daring works, a timeless reflection on humanity's potential for change.
