He was one of the fathers of modern science fiction, and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times (in 1921, 1932, 1935, and 1946). He is the author of such enduring classics as \u003cem\u003eThe Time Machine\u003c\/em\u003e (1895), \u003cem\u003eThe Island of Doctor Moreau\u003c\/em\u003e (1896), \u003cem\u003eThe Invisible Man\u003c\/em\u003e (1897), and \u003cem\u003eThe War of the Worlds\u003c\/em\u003e (1898). His career continued through his last novel, \u003cem\u003eYou Can't Be Too Careful\u003c\/em\u003e (1941).
