The Wonderful Visit

Like „The Time Machine”, this book may be considered as a further romance of the fourth dimension. „The Wonderful Visit” was paid by an angel, who by some accident, had got out of the angel into the human world, where his is accidentally shot by a vicar. The angel had trouble adjusting to life in a small English town. „The Wonderful Visit” is an 1895 novel by H. G. Wells. With an angel – a creature of fantasy unlike a religious angel – as protagonist and taking place in contemporary England, the book could be classified as contemporary fantasy, although the genre was not recognised in Wells’s time. „The Wonderful Visit” also has strong satirical themes, gently mocking customs and institutions of Victorian England as well as idealistic rebellion itself.
