Description: New York, Harper and Brothers, 1937. 1st Edition. 1st Edition. A highly collectible and historically significant issue of Harper’s Magazine, featuring two landmark contributions from major literary and intellectual figures: H.G. Wells – “THE IDEA OF A WOLD ENCYCLOPEDIA” pp. 472–482 A foundational essay from Wells’s World Brain series, this piece presents his bold vision for a “World Encyclopedia”—a universally accessible, continually updated repository of human knowledge designed to promote peace and intellectual cooperation. Decades ahead of its time, Wells’s concept prefigures the modern internet, Wikipedia, and global digital archives. A cornerstone document in the evolution of information theory and utopian thought. BEFORE THE INTERNET! M.F.K. Fisher – “TO FEED SUCH HUNGER” pp. 530–537 One of Fisher’s earliest appearances in a major national magazine, this essay combines her trademark eloquence of weaving food, memory, and emotional insight into a literary tapestry.

This "Prize Contest Announcement Issue" also includes a wide range of essays, fiction, and commentary, marking it as a culturally rich and forward-looking volume. Condition: Near fine in original orange wrappers printed in black, with minimal edge wear and bright, clean pages. Now preserved in protective mylar.
