What would you do if someone handed you the Forbidden Fruit of Knowledge from the Garden of Eden? First published in The Idler in October 1896, The Apple by H.G. Wells is among his most celebrated short stories. This contemporary fantasy follows a student who encounters a strange man aboard the train. This stranger offers the student a golden, luminescent apple which he claims to come from the Garden of Eden. The stranger himself has not dared to eat the fruit for fear the knowledge it grants might prove too terrible to bear. But what will the student choose? This unabridged reprinting of The Apple is part of The Port of Planets H.G. Wells Collection. Explore the full collection at portofplanets.com/hg-wells-collection
