The Man Who Could Work Miracles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162701448)

The Man Who Could Work Miracles is a science fiction novella written by H.G. Wells. The story revolves around a man named George McWhirter Fotheringay who discovers that he has the ability to perform miracles. Fotheringay is an ordinary man who works as a clerk in a small town. One day, he discovers that he can make things happen just by thinking about them. He first uses his powers to make a tree disappear, which attracts the attention of the townspeople. They are both amazed and frightened by his abilities.Fotheringay soon realizes that his powers have no limits. He can make anything happen, from changing the weather to creating a new world. However, he soon discovers that with great power comes great responsibility. He struggles to control his powers and the consequences of his actions.The novella explores themes of power, responsibility, and the nature of humanity. It also questions the idea of a higher power and the role of humans in the universe. The Man Who Could Work Miracles is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that showcases Wells' talent for storytelling and his ability to create complex and relatable characters.The subsequent meditations of Mr. Fotheringay were of a severe but confused description. So far, he could see it was a case of pure willing with him. The nature of his experiences so far disinclined him for any further experiments, at least until he had reconsidered them. But he lifted a sheet of paper, and turned a glass of water pink and then green, and he created a snail, which he miraculously annihilated, and got himself a miraculous new tooth-brush.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
