Anotace knihy

"Meanwhile" is a compelling novel by H.G. Wells that captures the intellectual and social unrest of the mid-1920s. Set against the backdrop of the General Strike of 1926 in Great Britain, the narrative follows Philip Rylands and his wife, Cynthia, as they host a diverse group of thinkers and socialites at their villa in Italy. While the characters enjoy the idyllic Mediterranean setting, their conversations are dominated by the labor crises and political upheavals occurring back in England.

Wells uses this physical distance to provide a panoramic view of contemporary society, contrasting the leisurely lives of the upper class with the harsh realities of industrial conflict. The work explores themes of progress, the potential for social revolution, and the role of the individual in a changing world. Through sharp dialogue and philosophical inquiry, "Meanwhile" examines the tension between utopian ideals and the practical difficulties of governance and reform. This novel remains a significant example of Wells's late fiction, showcasing his enduring commitment to analyzing the human condition and the future of civilization.
