Description

"[Wells] contrives to give over humanity into the clutches of the Impossible and yet manages to keep it down (or up) to its humanity, to its flesh, blood, sorrow, folly." -- Joseph Conrad
"The most important writer the genre has yet seen." -- John Clute
"'The Time Machine' was the best method of discussing a hundred actualities and a hundred living problems." -- William Thomas Stead

"I've had a most amazing time... "
So begins the Time Traveller's astonishing firsthand account of his journey 800,000 years beyond his own era -- and the story that launched H. G. Wells's successful career and earned him his reputation as the father of science fiction. 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 the men 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.
