Summary: "Varastettu basilli ja muita kertomuksia" by H. G. Wells is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories explore a mix of themes including science fiction and social commentary, often featuring characters who grapple with complex moral dilemmas or the consequences of scientific discoveries. The narratives showcase Wells' imaginative thought, reflecting the anxieties and curiosities of modernity in a rapidly changing world. The opening of the collection introduces readers to an intriguing scene in a laboratory where a bacteriologist demonstrates a cholera bacterium to a mysterious pale man. As their conversation unfolds, the pale man reveals a fascination with the devastating potential of cholera, raising questions about human nature and morality in the face of discovery. The tension escalates when the pale man, who turns out to be an anarchist, hijacks the conversation with dark intentions, leading to a dramatic climax as he plans to unleash the bacterium upon the city. This setup immerses the reader in a world where scientific exploration intersects with dangerous intentions, setting the tone for the stories to follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
