"La guerre des mondes" by H. G. Wells is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative begins with the unexpected arrival of Martians on Earth, driven by their need to escape their dying planet. This sets the stage for an exploration of humanity's vulnerability and the catastrophic consequences of alien invasion. The opening of the novel introduces a time of ignorance and overconfidence among humanity, who are blissfully unaware of the impending threat from Mars. As reports of unusual phenomena on the red planet emerge, an astronomer named Ogilvy grows increasingly alarmed. After a series of fiery explosions signal the launch of Martian projectiles toward Earth, a cylinder crashes into the English countryside, sparking intrigue and dread. The scenes depict a mix of curiosity and horror as locals gather around the cylinder, which soon reveals its true nature as Martians begin to emerge, prefacing the chaos and destruction to come.
