Wells is a science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds through the eyes of a man reflecting on a significant transformation in the world and his own life, ignited by the appearance of a comet. Central to the narrative is the protagonist’s tumultuous relationship with Nettie Stuart, exploring the intricacies of love, societal change, and personal growth against a backdrop of a shift in humanity brought about by the comet. The opening of "In the Days of the Comet" introduces us to a gray-haired man, who is observing the distant horizon while contemplating the transformative power of the comet. This man reflects on his past, primarily through the misguided choices and emotional turmoil he experienced in his youth. The protagonist, a younger version of himself, portrays frustrations with his unfulfilling job and romantic troubles, particularly with Nettie, showcasing an era of discontent and societal imbalance. As he becomes increasingly absorbed in discussions of socialism and revolutions with his friend Parload, the comet persists as an evolving symbol on the horizon, foreshadowing significant change as well as challenging the protagonist's perspectives on life and love. The tone evokes nostalgia and curiosity, creating a foundation for the exploration of profound themes relating to personal and collective transformation.
