H. G. Wells 3 hr 32 min read

A falling star on the common cracks open to reveal Martians, and their towering tripods and heat-rays begin a merciless campaign to conquer the Earth and feed on humankind.

This is a Hungarian translation of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds. Terrifying, sweeping, immortal. Read it for the book that defined alien-invasion fiction, the Martian tripods marching on the world, the heat-ray, the red weed, and humanity brought low, a masterpiece of cosmic terror and mordant social vision, here rendered for Hungarian readers.
