Sobre IBD

In the Days of the Comet is a science fiction novel by H.G. Wells. The story centers on William 'Willie' Leadford, a young man frustrated by social injustice and romantic turmoil, who plans to kill his lover and her suitor out of despair. As he is about to act, a comet with a green glow enters Earth’s atmosphere, releasing a special gas that transforms all humans. The gas eliminates pettiness, hatred and injustice, making people kind and rational. Narrated through a retrospective lens, the novel explores themes of personal redemption, societal transformation and human nature, blending sci-fi elements with social commentary to imagine a utopian world born from a cosmic event.
