The Passionate Friends A Novel And Three Essays PDF Download

The Passionate Friends is a 1913 novel by H. G. Wells.The Passionate Friends was appreciated by Wells's friends Ford Madox Hueffer and Violet Hunt, and by Maurice Baring. Reviews were largely positive. Wells affected, in a letter to Henry James, to consider the novel "gawky" and to believe that "It has been thrust into the world too soon." Work was begun on a stage version, but this did not come to fruition. Two films have been made from the novel, one in 1922 and another in 1949.The Passionate Friends was translated into Italian in 1914, into French in 1919, into Russian in 1924 and into Czech in 1928. When it was republished in the Atlantic Edition of his collected works (1926), Wells appended three essays to it: "Divorce," "The Endowment of Motherhood," and "The Great State."
