La Guerra de Los Mundos

An anonymous narrator relates how an attack by vicious Martians is repelled with the aid of humanity's most unexpected ally. Originally published in 1898, this masterpiece by one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time is not only a fantastic novel―it is also a sharp criticism of Victorian society and its imperialistic ambitions. It is an invitation for contemporary readers to ponder on the fate of our planet.
