About this book

A Year of Prophesying is by H. G. Wells. A piece headed Will Germany Break into Pieces? asks whether Germany will break into pieces and become a group of divergent and mutually hostile States. The writer says he does not share the belief in the break-up of Germany, and believes she will keep together as Russian-speaking Russia has kept together.

Another piece says there can be nothing but a few ferry services in operation without one area for air transport under one control. The writer recalls his own amazement at the sudden outbreak of nationalism on the part of the men of science of all countries at the beginning of the war. The writer says that, so far as he can go beyond his untrained feelings and his unsolved limitations, he gives himself to the attack upon our common prison walls of ignorance and effortless submission. The writer says he is against the clothes we wear and the food we eat, the houses we live in, the schools we have, our amusements, our money and our ways of trading, among other things.
