Book excerpt: 'The World of William Clissold' is a novel by H. G. Wells, best remembered today for his science-fiction works such as 'War of the Worlds' and 'The Time Machine'.. It is written in the first person, except for a "Note before the Title Page" by Wells and an "Epilogue" by William Clissold's brother, Dickon. The rest of the novel is divided into six books. In "Book the First: The Frame of the Picture" William Clissold describes his general worldview, describing his loss of religious faith and view of human life as "The Adventure of Mankind;" this part includes a description of a meeting with Carl Gustav Jung.
