About this eBook

Author Wells, H. G. (Herbert George), 1866-1946
Title The Research Magnificent
Credits Produced by Donald Lainson, and David Widger
Summary "The Research Magnificent" by H. G. Wells is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around William Porphyry Benham, a man whose life is deeply influenced by his quest for a noble existence, which he associates with an "aristocratic life" defined not by social status but by depth and intensity of living. The narrative explores Benham's intellectual and emotional journey as he grapples with ideals that seemingly guide and ultimately define who he is. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Benham as he reflects on his life, acknowledging his adventurous spirit driven by a singular idea of nobility. This theme is established through a series of introspections, and the reader learns about his background, including his upbringing, the influences of his father, and the contrasting relationship with his mother, Lady Marayne. Wells crafts Benham's character with a blend of ambition and self-doubt, hinting at future struggles as he navigates the complexities of fear, social expectations, and personal aspirations. The opening sets a contemplative tone, promising an exploration of profound concepts such as fear, identity, and the search for meaning. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
