The Time Machine
The Time Machine

Journey through time, exploring humanity's hopeful fears.

If you're intrigued by the combination of adventure and profound thought, "The Time Machine" is for you. H.G. Wells doesn't just tell a story; he crafts a cautionary tale that reflects on human nature and societal evolution. His tale is as engaging as it is intellectually stimulating, offering a timeless (pun intended) experience that resonates with the curious and the contemplative. This book packs a punch in just 160 pages, perfect for a weekend foray into the far future.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The revolutionary novel that catapulted readers into the future, from the father of science fiction, H.G. Wells. “I’ve had a most amazing time....” So begins the Time Traveller’s astonishing firsthand account of his journey eight hundred thousand years beyond his own era—and the story that launched H. G. Wells’s successful career. With a speculative leap that still fires the imagination, Wells sends his brave explorer to face a future burdened with our greatest hopes...and our darkest fears. A pull of the Time Machine’s lever propels him to the age of a slowly dying Earth. There he discovers two bizarre races—the ethereal Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks—who not only symbolize the duality of human nature, but offer a terrifying portrait of tomorrow as well. Published in 1895, this masterpiece of invention captivated readers on the threshold of a new century. Thanks to Wells’s expert storytelling and provocative insight, The Time Machine will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come.
