"This again," said the Bacteriologist, slipping a glass slide under the microscope, "is a preparation of the celebrated Bacillus of cholera—the cholera germ." The pale-faced man peered down the microscope. He was evidently not accustomed to that kind of thing, and held a limp white hand over his disengaged eye. "I see very little," he said. "Touch this screw," said the Bacteriologist; "perhaps the microscope is out of focus for you. Eyes vary so much. Just the fraction of a turn this way or that."

About the Author Herbert George "H.G." Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946) was a British author, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing text books and rules for war games. Together with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback, Wells has been referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".

Sozaeva H G Wells wrote and published this book of short stories in 1895; the first book he published, if I remember correctly. The writing style is typical Wells - just like he was sitting in front of you telling you a tale - and the stories themselves are quite entertaining. The topics range from an Anarchist set to destroy London by stealing a vial of cholera bacilla (the title story) to a man describing his time on a deserted island and how he hatched out an egg that had been preserved for 400 years. I think my favorite was the taxidermist story, just because it was really twisted :-) Give this book a try - it's a great introduction to the writings of a classic author of truly tremendous standing.

Excellent collection of tales By Steven Wilber I really enjoyed this collection of 15 tales which range from a different way of looking at every day events, to high adventure (complete with buried treasure), mystery, magic, and science fiction. There is something for everyone in this collection.These tales show imagination and all are beautifully written in Wells' classical style. One of H.G. Wells' biggest strengths is his ability to paint a picture with words. The reader is very much able to visualize what is going on, whithout being told every single detail.A must read collection for fans of H.G. Wells and classic SciFi alike.Personal favorites in this collection include "The Lord of the Dynamos", "Trough A Window", and "The Treasure in the Forest".

Early Collection Of Stories From Wells By Dave_42 Technically, "Select Conversations With An Uncle" which was published earlier in 1895 was Wells' first collection of stories, but the stories from that collection have largely been forgotten, while this collection, "The Stolen Bacillus and Other Incidents", contains a few stories which have long been remembered as early classics. The fourth of four books published in 1895, this collection contains 15 works of short fiction which were originally published between December of 1893, and March of 1895, mostly in "Pall Mall Budget" (or "Pall Mall Gazette"), but there is one story which was published originally in "Black and White" and one from "The St. James Gazette".The collection opens with "The Stolen Bacillus", a short story which can definitely be considered science fiction. In this an unnamed visitor of a Bacteriologist preys on the Bacteriologists ego to boast about the dangerous strains of bacteria he has on hand. The visitor turns out to be an anarchist who steals a vial with bacteria to use as a weapon, resulting in a chase, with a surprise ending. Published originally in "The Pall Mall Budget" on June 21st of 1894, this story predicts the fears of terrorists using biological weapons.The next story is "The Flowering of the Strange Orchid", another science fiction story, in which a man (Winter-Wedderburn) is tired of having an uneventful life and purchases some orchids from a collector who died, one of which is a very unusual specimen and provides him with an event in his life which he so desperately wanted. Published on August 2nd of 1894 in "The Pall Mall Budget", this story is an early example of using a previously unknown species as subject-matter.Next up is "In The Avu Observatory", which was published on August 9th of 1894 in "The Pall Mall Budget". This story, like the one before uses an unusual species as subject-matter. In this case it is a large bat-like creature which attacks an astronomer's assistant during a night when he is alone making observations."The Triumphs Of A Taxidermist" was published on March 3rd of 1894, and unlike the previous stories this one is not really science fiction. Here it is a narrator telling of a conversation he had with a Taxidermist, who admitted he had created "new species" in order to satisfy his clients."A Deal In Ostriches" was published on December 20th of 1894 in "The Pall Mall Budget". This story is also not science fiction, but it is a clever story (again told by a taxidermist, but not clear if it is meant to be the same one) about how an Ostrich was worth three hundred pounds."Through A Window", published in "Black and White" on August 25th, 1894 is like an early version of "Rear Window". Here we have a man (Bailey) who is immobilized due to an injury who watches a manhunt through his window."The Temptation of Harringay" was published in "The St. James Gazette" on February 9th of 1895. This fantasy story is about an artist who is desperate to paint a subject he has created in his mind, but who cannot get it right. The Devil comes to him and tries to buy the artist's soul with the promise of a few masterpieces."The Flying Man" was published in December of 1893 in "The Pall Mall Gazette". This is a story told from the point of view of a lieutenant who is explaining how he gained a reputation among the natives as "a flying man"."The Diamond Maker" was published on August 16th of 1894 in "The Pall Mall Budget". In this science fiction story, the narrator relates the tale of a man who has invented a means of making his own diamonds."Æpyornis Island" was published on December 27th of 1894 in "The Pall Mall Budget". Similar to the two stories earlier, this one again uses an unusual species as subject-matter, though in this case the story is much better thought out and developed. Here the narrator tells the story of how he found the bones of an Æpyornis.Next up is my personal favorite in the book, "The Remarkable Case of Davidson's Eyes", which was published in "The Pall Mall Budget" on March 28th of 1895. In this story, the title character (Davidson), after a lightning strike, is not able to see what is in front of him, but instead sees a tropical scene. Over time he eventually recovers, but later he meets someone who tells him a story which describes what he had seen perfectly."The Lord of the Dynamos" was published on September 6th, 1894, in "The Pall Mall Budget". This is another good story, about a poor foreign laborer who comes to worship the large Dynamo where he works."The Hammerpond Park Burglary" is a clever story about a thief (Teddy Watkins) who is trying to steal Lady Aveling's jewels. It was published originally in "The Pall Mall Budget" on July 5th of 1894."A Moth - Genus Novo" was published in "The Pall Mall Budget" on March 28th, of 1895. This is another good story about two rival scientists who have a professional feud, which is ended by the untimely death of one of them. The other then is tormented by a new species of Moth which he is unable to capture, and which nobody else is able to see.The collection closes with "The Treasure In The Forest", which was published in "The Pall Mall Budget" on August 23rd of 1894. This is the story of two men (Evans and Hooker) who overhear a discussion of a treasure, and then make the mistake of trying to rush ahead and recover it first.This is far from the best collection of Wells' short stories, but it is interesting because you can see some of his development as a writer between the earliest stories in this collection, and those which were written later on. This is true even though it isn't even two years between the publication of the first and last stories. Though some of these stories would be considered speculative fiction, many of them are fairly standard short stories.
