Moth, A

di H. G. Wells (Autore)

Scott Miller, 2025

In A Moth, H. G. Wells delivers a darkly psychological tale about rivalry, obsession, and the fragile boundaries of the human mind. After years of bitter academic warfare, a celebrated entomologist retreats to the English countryside to rest and recover. Instead of peace, he finds himself pursued by a mysterious insect that seems both scientifically impossible and disturbingly personal. As the strange moth reappears again and again, Wells slowly tightens the tension. The story explores how relentless ambition and unresolved hatred can distort perception itself. What begins as an intellectual curiosity becomes something far more unsettling, drawing the reader into a quiet but relentless descent where reason struggles to survive. H. G. Wells was one of the founding voices of modern science fiction, known for blending speculative ideas with sharp psychological insight. His work often explored how science, pride, and social conflict reshape human behavior. Beyond his famous novels, Wells was a master of short fiction. In stories like A Moth, he reveals a deep understanding of obsession and mental collapse, using subtle horror and irony rather than spectacle. His influence continues to shape science fiction and psychological horror to this day.
