Описание: Tono-Bungay is a realist semiautobiographical novel written by H. G. Wells and published in 1909. It has been called arguably his most artistic book. It was originally serialized in The English Review beginning in the magazines rst issue in December 1908. It was serialized in the United States in The Popular Magazine beginning in the September 1908 issue. Tono-Bungay is narrated by George Ponderevo, who is persuaded to help develop the business of selling Tono-Bungay, a patent medicine created by his ambitious uncle Edward. George devotes seven years to organising the production and manufacture of a product which he believes to be a damned swindle. He then quits day-to-day involvement with the enterprise in favour of aeronautics. But he remains associated with his uncle Edward, who becomes a nancier of the rst order and is on the verge of achieving social as well as economic dominance when his business empire collapses. George tries to rescue his uncles failing nances by stealing quantities of a radioactive compound called quap from an island off the coast of West Africa, but the expedition is unsuccessful. His nephew engineers his uncles escape from England in an experimental aircraft he has built, but the ruined entrepreneur turned nancier catches pneumonia on the ight and dies in a French village near Bordeaux, despite Georges efforts to save him. The novel ends with George nding a new occupation: designing destroyers for the highest bidder.Each RADLEY CLASSIC is a meticulously restored, luxurious and faithful reproduction of a classic book; produced with elegant text layout, clarity of presentation, and stylistic features that make reading a true pleasure.
