A review by mariafernandagama
The Door in the Wall by H.G. Wells

5.0

I loved this so much! It really resonated with me because it deals with a theme that is very dear to my heart: how what most of us consider to be a "successful life" is actually a life stripped from anything meaningful. A wasted life, in other words. A life that doesn't afford you even the slightest pause to appreciate the wonders of nature, of beauty, of love. It's very sad and absurd to me how the world we live in seems to encourage us to do exactly that: to overtire ourselves at work, to never get enough sleep or time to rest, to put our professional engagements before anything that's really important to us, including our family, partners and friends.

It also reminded me a lot of the Twilight Zone episode "A stop at Willoughby", one that I absolutely love because it also deals with the same questions.
