Summary

La guerra de los mundos es una novela de ciencia ficción publicada por primera vez en 1898. La historia es relatada por un narrador sin nombre en 1904, tras seis años de la invasión marciana. Cautivado por los trabajos de Darwin, Wells se basa en la premisa evolucionista de la lucha incesante entre los seres por la supervivencia, relatada a escala interplanetaria. Los marcianos se interesan en la conquista de la Tierra por el hambre y la necesidad, no tanto por un impulso guerrero.

War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel first published in 1898. The story is told by an unnamed narrator in 1904, six years after the Martian invasion. Captivated by the works of Darwin, Wells is based on the evolutionary premise of the incessant struggle between beings for survival, recounted on an interplanetary scale. Martians are interested in conquering Earth out of hunger and want, not so much out of a warrior impulse.
