Hello, and welcome to another short story.
Today it is "The Diamond Maker" by H.G. Wells, a science-fiction short story that was first published in 1894 in the Pall Mall Budget.
H.G. Wells is widely considered to be one of "the fathers of science fiction". He invented new concepts, shaped the genre itself, and as a result, his stories are often visionary accounts of a future that is now the present.
In "The Diamond Maker" Wells reflects his own experience of poverty and hardship, as well as his fascination with chemistry and physics.
I hope you enjoy listening to "The Diamond Maker", a classic and captivating story, full of suspense, irony, and imagination, which shows Wells's mastery of the short story form.
