Heart of the World is an 1895 book by H.

Reception
In his study of early science fiction, E. F. Bleiler described Heart of the World as "rich in detail, ingenious and well plotted, but weak in characterization at times.[1] Bleiler also wrote that the novel's "moral message" and its "sense of tragedy" were both "powerfully conveyed".[1]
