Science fiction
The Triumphs of a Taxidermist is a darkly humorous and satirical short story by H. G. Wells that follows the peculiar life and ambitions of Hapworth Gibbins, a devoted taxidermist with grand aspirations of scientific recognition. Isolated in his small shop filled with stuffed animals, Gibbins dreams of presenting a groundbreaking paper at the prestigious Linnean Society—a goal that becomes increasingly obsessive. As he struggles with self-doubt, societal indifference, and his own deteriorating mental state, his passion for taxidermy blurs the line between art, science, and madness. With biting irony and psychological depth, Wells critiques the rigid structures of Victorian science and the alienation of the eccentric individual in a dismissive world. This story is a lesser-known but compelling example of Wells’ ability to blend realism with surrealism and social commentary.
