A Year of Prophesying gathers H. G. Wells at his most urgent and wide-ranging: fifty-five essays on war, aviation, education, democracy, communism, fascism, women's rights, empire, and the fate of civilization itself. These journalistic pieces read like a sustained campaign for a new world order, blending political diagnosis with visionary social criticism and a fierce faith in human possibility. Wells argues that peace will never come through half-measures. He denounces the League of Nations as a compromised club of governments, warns that reparations and nationalist revenge are poisoning Europe, and attacks imperial projects such as Singapore as relics of an outgrown mentality. From the beauty of flight over Central Europe to the decay of Portugal under isolated sovereignty, he repeatedly contrasts modern possibility with political failure. He also examines the rise of dictatorships, the crisis of parliamentary government, and the betrayal of international hopes by Labour and other parties. Yet his central conviction remains hopeful: only deeper education, broader federation, and a true civilization of peoples can secure the future. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
