The history of Mr. Polly, by H. G. Wells

About the Author Often called the father of science fiction, British author Herbert George (H. G.) Wells literary works are notable for being some of the first titles of the science fiction genre, and include such famed titles as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The Invisible Man. Despite being fixedly associated with science fiction, Wells wrote extensively in other genres and on many subjects, including history, society and politics, and was heavily influenced by Darwinism. His first book, Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought, offered predictions about what technology and society would look like in the year 2000, many of which have proven accurate. Wells went on to pen over fifty novels, numerous non-fiction books, and dozens of short stories. His legacy has had an overwhelming influence on science fiction, popular culture, and even on technological and scientific innovation. Wells died in 1946 at the age of 79.

He has a shop that is not doing so well and a wife who is unhappy with him and what he does and his stomach aches and.... He disparages of being able to be happy. As I started to listen to this story I was thinking this is not much of a story. Where is the science fiction? Where is the action? Who knew that Mr. Wells wrote social commentary literature? But I continued to listen, and I was entranced. The story starts as mentioned above, then you read of his history, his schooling and first job, he parents, etc. His story is one of normal English lower middle class at the turn of the century. He was nothing special and had no drive to excel at anything, and skated by as best he could with as little effort as he had to put forth. He was also one to not rock the boat. I would have to say he was trying to be a good guy, but he failed at that, as it turns out, miserably. He grows up, starts working, looks to change jobs, his father dies, leaving him some money to start his own shop with, and he gets married, on and on. At this point Mr. Wells inserts his social commentary – some middle class people get a chance to better themselves, but make a hash of it, partly because of the way society is arranged and partly because they are not capable of doing it right for one reason or another. These poor souls spend their inheritance trying and then have to just get out and do whatever to survive, ending up poorer in soul and wallet. This is the fate of Mr. Polly, but he makes mistakes that leave him a bit better off, but still bothered and unsatisfied, so he goes off walking and this saves him. He wanders into the life of a simple woman trying to keep her granddaughter and run an inn. He settles down and his life becomes the best he could hope for. He is not a Buddha, but living by the river and helping with the inn, he absentmindedly enjoys his life. I was surprised to feel that this was a really good story, mundane, for sure, but really rather enjoyable.
