H. G. Wells trug sich erstmals 1918 mit dem Gedanken, eine Weltgeschichte zu schreiben. Er wollte die »Geschichte als die Geschichte vom Menschen« erzählen, entwarf so ein moralisches Programm, das von höchster Aktualität ist: »Wir wollen die Völker der Erde die Wahrheit lehren: daß sie alle einen gemeinsamen Ursprung haben, daß sie alle an einem gemeinsamen Werk beteiligt sind.«

Robert Shannon was a devoted scientist on the brink of a medical discovery of great importance. He had no time or inclination for women . . . or for any of the world outside his laboratory. But Jean Law had other plans for him. Strictly brought up by narrow-minded parents, confined by her hospital lectures and her dingy boarding-house, she hardly knew the fires that burned beneath her calm exterior . . . except that they burned for Robert Shannon. She knew she had to have him for herself, and, despite her family’s religious beliefs , their shocked disapproval, and all she had been taught was her destiny, she was determined to fight for him. In the magnificent narrative tradition of The Citadel, The Stars Look Down and Cronin’s other classic novels, Shannon’s Way is a great book by a much-loved author.
