H.G. Wells's "Joan and Peter: The Story of an Education" offers a compelling glimpse into early 20th-century England, against the backdrop of a world on the cusp of immense change. This historical fiction explores the lives of its titular characters as they navigate the complexities of adolescence and the challenges of forging their identities.

Orphaned early, Joan and Peter's upbringing becomes a lens through which Wells examines the educational and social landscapes of his time. More than just a coming-of-age story, the novel provides insightful social commentary on the prevailing attitudes and societal structures just before and during World War I.

Wells, a master of both science fiction and social observation, crafts a narrative that resonates with enduring themes of self-discovery, societal expectations, and the search for meaning in a rapidly evolving world. This meticulously prepared print edition allows readers to rediscover this classic work of literary fiction.
