The War of the Worlds is a science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells, first serialised in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine in the UK and by Cosmopolitan magazine in the US. The novel's first appearance in hardcover was in 1898 from publisher William Heinemann of London. Written between 1895 and 1897,[2] it is one of the earliest stories to detail a conflict between mankind and an extra-terrestrial race.[3] The novel is the first-person narrative of both an unnamed protagonist in Surrey and of his younger brother in London as southern England is invaded by Martians. The novel is one of the most commented-on works in the science fiction canon.[4]
The plot has been related to invasion literature of the time. The novel has been variously interpreted as a commentary on evolutionary theory, British imperialism, and generally Victorian superstitions, fears, and prejudices. Wells said that the plot arose from a discussion with his brother Frank about the catastrophic effect of the British on indigenous Tasmanians. What would happen, he wondered, if Martians did to Britain what the British had done to the Tasmanians?[5] At the time of publication, it was classified as a scientific romance, like Wells's earlier novel The Time Machine.

Dear Judy,
I went to Quebec Winter Carnival this year and it was great! There were lots of fun things to see and do there. I saw some amazing ice sculptures and went skating with my friends. In the centre of the activities there was an ice palace that looked like something from a fairy tail. What about you? Did you go anywhere this winter?
Let me know.
Claire.
Dear Сlaire,
The Quebec Winter Carnival sounds great. This winter I went to Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. Every year in December it become an ice city. People build sculptures of castles, fairy tale characters and animals. At night, all sculptures light up with coloured lights. It's beautiful.
Дорогая Джуди.
В этом году я была на зимнем карнавале в Квебеке, и это было здорово! Там было много интересных вещей, которые можно было увидеть и было чем заняться. Я увидела удивительные ледяные скульптуры и покаталась с друзьями. В центре событий было ледяное царство, похожее на что-то из сказки. Как насчет тебя? Ты была где-нибудь этой зимой?
Дай мне знать.
Клэр.
Дорогая Клэр,
Зимний карнавал в Квебеке звучит великолепно. Этой зимой я побывала в Астане, столице Казахстана. Каждый год в декабре он становится ледяным городом. Люди строят скульптуры замков, сказочных персонажей и животных. Ночью все скульптуры загораются разноцветными огнями. Это красиво.
