The War of the Worlds - Contemplating Life in the Sewers
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A haunting image from H.G. Wells' classic science fiction novel, published for the first time in 1898. The scene depicts a group of survivors huddled together in the dimly lit recesses of a subterranean sewer system, seeking refuge from the destructive Martian invasion that has ravaged the surface of Earth. The captioned quote, spoken by the protagonist, Professor George Herbert Silence, reflects the grim reality of their new existence. "We will have to lead a life underground, do you understand? I thought about the sewers..." The image, captured by the skilled lens of Alvin Corrêa, transports us into the depths of despair and survival. The water-logged sewer walls are slick with an unpleasant sheen, casting an eerie glow over the faces of the terrified humans. The heavy metal gates, once a symbol of security and order, now serve as a barrier between the survivors and the terrifying world above. The darkness of the sewers is a stark contrast to the bright, sunlit world that once was. The survivors, with their faces etched with fear and exhaustion, contemplate the harsh reality of their new existence. This powerful and evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of the most cataclysmic events. The War of the Worlds continues to captivate and inspire audiences with its exploration of life, death, and the human condition.
