Certain Personal Matters by H. G. Wells
"Certain Personal Matters" by H. G. Wells is a collection of essays published in 1897. These thirty-nine pieces blend humorous social satire with literary and scientific themes, written from the perspective of a modest young writer and his wife Euphemia. Wells explores everyday subjects—from house-hunting to microscopes—with wit and insight, while occasionally hinting at darker themes like human extinction that would appear in his later fiction. The essays showcase Wells's early career
as a writer of engaging magazine pieces. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
