Mr. Britling Sees It Through

Mr. Britling Sees It Through is H. G. Wells's powerful and deeply human novel about the impact of the First World War on ordinary lives. Mr. Britling, an English writer and intellectual, is forced to confront the collapse of his beliefs and assumptions as war reshapes the world around him.

While the battle rages across Europe, its emotional and moral consequences are felt at home—through loss, uncertainty, and inner conflict. Wells offers a profound reflection on faith, reason, and resilience in a time of unprecedented upheaval.

Both intimate and philosophical, Mr. Britling Sees It Through stands as a moving exploration of how individuals endure—and make sense of—war.
