The Time Machine

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 hopesand 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.
