The History of Mr. Polly is a novel by H.G. Wells, first published in 1910. It tells the story of Alfred Polly, an ordinary man who finds himself deeply dissatisfied with his life. Trapped in a dreary marriage and a failing business, Mr. Polly becomes increasingly disillusioned with his existence. In a moment of desperation, he decides to escape from his mundane life, leading to a series of humorous and touching adventures.The novel is a blend of comedy and pathos, capturing the struggles of an average man seeking happiness and meaning in a world that seems to offer little. Mr. Polly’s journey of self-discovery and reinvention is both poignant and relatable, as Wells explores themes of individuality, the pursuit of happiness, and the constraints of social expectations.The History of Mr. Polly is one of Wells’ most beloved works, appreciated for its wit, charm, and insightful portrayal of the human condition. It stands out as a gentle satire on the life of the English lower-middle class at the turn of the 20th century.
