The Time Machine - the Original 1895 Classic (Reader's Library Classics)

Beschreibung

There are really four dimensions, three which we call the three planes of Space, and a fourth, Time. The Original 1895 Classic When an English Scientist, known only as the Time Traveller, invents a machine that can travel through time, the most logical expectation would be to test such a machine. After a trial run that saw him travel three hours into the future, the Time Traveller pushes further into the future to year 802,701, where he meets a mellow race of humans called the Eloi. Soon he discovers that the Eloi are not the only human race left on earth...

Autor

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) is considered one of the pioneers of the science-fiction genre. His earliest and best-known novel is The Time Machine (1895). Wells' works always contain social criticism, reflecting his aim to realise political ideas with the help of literature. With his dystopian oeuvre, he wanted to startle his compatriots out of their Victorian self-righteousness, criticise imperialism and warn against blind optimism about progress.
