When The Sleeper Wakes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162716749)

When The Sleeper Wakes is a science fiction novel written by H.G. Wells. The story is set in the year 1897 and follows the journey of a man named Graham, who falls into a deep sleep and wakes up 203 years later in the year 2100. In this future world, Graham discovers that he has become a legendary figure, known as the ""Sleeper"", and that society has been transformed into a dystopian state ruled by a small group of wealthy elites. As Graham tries to understand this new world, he becomes embroiled in a rebellion against the ruling class and eventually becomes its leader. Along the way, he falls in love with a woman named Helen, who becomes his ally in the fight for freedom. The novel explores themes of power, class struggle, and the dangers of unchecked technological progress. It is a gripping tale of a man's journey through time and his fight for a better future.What a wonderfully complex thing! this simple seeming unity--the self! Who can trace its reintegration as morning after morning we awaken, the flux and confluence of its countless factors intenveaving, rebuilding, the dim first stirrings of the soul, the growth and synthesis of the unconscious to the subconscious, the sub-conscious to dawning consciousness, until at last we recognise ourselves again.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
