H. G. Wells' revolutionary human rights manifesto is reissued by Penguin with a new introduction by fellow novelist and human rights campaigner Ali Smith'Penguin and Pelican Specials are books of topical importance published within as short a time as possible from receipt of the manuscript.Some are reprints of famous books brought up-to-date, but usually they are entirely new books published for the first time.' H.G. Wells wrote The Rights of Man in 1940, partly in response to the ongoing war with Germany.The fearlessly progressive ideas he set out were instrumental in the creation of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the EU's European Convention on Human Rights and the UK's Human Rights Act. When first published, this manifesto was an urgently topical reaction to a global miscarriage of justice.It was intended to stimulate debate and make a clear statement of mankind's immutable responsibilities to itself.Seventy-five years have passed and once again we face a humanitarian crisis.In the UK our human rights are under threat in ways that they never have been before and overseas peoples are being displaced from their homelands in their millions.The international community must act decisively, cooperatively and fast.The Rights of Man is not an 'entirely new book' - but it is a book of topical importance and it has been published, now as before, in as short a time as possible, in order to react to the sudden and urgent need. With a new introduction by award-winning novelist and human rights campaigner Ali Smith, Penguin reissues one of the most important humanitarian texts of the twentieth century in the hope that it will continue to stimulate debate and remind our leaders - and each other - of the essential priorities and responsibilities of mankind.
