The Man Who Could Work Miracles - Paperback

The Man Who Could Work Miracles is a science fiction short story written by H. G. Wells. The story is about a man named George McWhirter Fotheringay who discovers that he has the ability to perform miracles. Fotheringay is a humble and unassuming man who works as a shop assistant in a small town. One day, he discovers that he can make things happen just by thinking about them. He first tests his powers by making a tree disappear, and then he moves on to more ambitious feats, such as stopping a storm and making a village disappear.As Fotheringay becomes more confident in his abilities, he attracts the attention of the media and the government. The story explores the consequences of having such immense power and the moral dilemmas that come with it. Fotheringay struggles to use his powers for good and is eventually forced to confront the limitations of his abilities.The Man Who Could Work Miracles is a thought-provoking and entertaining story that raises questions about the nature of power, responsibility, and free will. It is a classic work of science fiction that has inspired many other writers and has been adapted into various forms, including a radio play and a television series.The subsequent meditations of Mr. Fotheringay were of a severe but confused description. So far, he could see it was a case of pure willing with him. The nature of his experiences so far disinclined him for any further experiments, at least until he had reconsidered them. But he lifted a sheet of paper, and turned a glass of water pink and then green, and he created a snail, which he miraculously annihilated, and got himself a miraculous new tooth-brush.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
