Publisher's Synopsis
The first great novel to imagine time travel, H. G. Wells s The Time Machine (1895) follows its narrator on an incredible journey that takes him eventually to the earth s last moments. When a Victorian scientist invents a machine that allows him to travel to the year A.D. 802,701, he encounters a highly evolved society of people called Eloi, for whom suffering has apparently been replaced by refinement and harmony. First impressions are misleading, however, and his discovery of the Eloi s true relationship to the brutish Morlocks who lurk in tunnels beneath them leads him to a horrifying insight into the fate of mankind and its roots in his own time."
