Herbert wells his life and work. His best scientific fantastic novels

Conclusion
In an interview with The Paris Review, Vladimir Nabokov described Wells as his favourite writer when he was a boy and "a great artist."^[152] He went on to cite The Passionate Friends, Ann Veronica, The Time Machine, and The Country of the Blind as superior to anything else written by Wells's British contemporaries. Nabokov said: "His sociological cogitations can be safely ignored, of course, but his romances and fantasies are superb."^[152]

Jorge Luis Borges wrote many short pieces on Wells in which he demonstrates a deep familiarity with much of Wells's work.^[153] While Borges wrote several critical reviews, including a mostly negative review of Wells's film Things to Come,^[154] he regularly treated Wells as a canonical figure of fantastic literature. Late in his life, Borges included The Invisible Man and The Time Machine in his Prologue to a Personal Library,^[155] a curated list of 100 great works of literature that he undertook at the behest of the Argentine publishing house Emecé. Canadian author Margaret Atwood read Wells's books,^[81] and he also inspired writers of European speculative fiction such as Karel Čapek^[150] and Yevgeny Zamyatin.^[150]
In 2021, Wells was one of six British writers commemorated on a series of UK postage stamps issued by Royal Mail to celebrate British science fiction.^[156] Six classic science fiction novels were depicted, one from each author, with The Time Machine chosen to represent Wells.
