This volume contains the two last works by HG Wells. Nearing the end of his life, increasingly distressed over the war, Wells deals with death and apocalypse, mortality and religion, and with "human insufficiency."

Mind at the End of its Tether

"One approaches it with awe. You come across references to it everywhere: Colin Wilson, Priestly, Koestler. It seems to have been a wounding work; something no one could agree with, but something that couldn't be taken lightly."--Art Beck

"In the face of our universal inadequacy . . . man must go steeply up or down and the odds seem to be all in favor of his going down and out. If he goes up, then so great is the adaptation demanded of him that he must cease to be a man. Ordinary man is at the end of his tether."--HG Wells

The Happy Turning

Wells' barbed fantasies about the afterlife take the forms of "happy" dream walks. In one he converses with Jesus:

But being crucified upon the irreparable things that one has done, realizing that one has failed, that you have let yourself down and your poor silly disciples down and mankind down, that the God in you has deserted you--that was the ultimate torment. Even on the cross I remember shouting out something about it."
"Eli. Eli, lama sabachthani?" I said.
"Did someone get that down?" he replied.
"Don't you read the Gospels?"
"Good God, No " he said. "How can I? I was crucified before all that."

Comfortable and Slick
Color: Grey, Size: X-Large
The track suit has been my tai chi workout go to. The fabric is light and non constrictive so I can move effortlessly. The material is soft and feels nice. Does not get too wrinkly when folded. The color is nice. Top fits nicely, true to size (6’ and 190 lbs). The bottoms are a bit baggy though but my bum is flat, so can complain. I think next time I would purchase separate pieces and go with XL top and L bottom. Perhaps mix the colors too so I don’t look like an orderly on break! I will caution on wearing this type of material over spandex or slippery underwear. I was walking my three large dogs and they got tangled and the leash snagged and pulled down my pants exposing my underwear to the world. Luckily, I had clean undies with no rips, although no one was around the trail we were on! This is my first Coofandy purchase and I would definitely purchase again.
