A beautifully designed edition of one of the most beloved science fiction novels of all time...
First published in 1895, The Time Machine won author H.G. Wells immediate recognition and has been regarded ever since as one of the great masterpieces in the literature of science fiction. It popularized the concept of time travel and introduced the concept of a "time machine" device that could travel forwards and backwards through the years.
It is the story of one man's astonishing journey beyond the conventional limits of the imagination. One of the most renowned works of science fiction, The Time Machine reflects on the adventures of The Time Traveller - a man who constructs a machine which allows him to explore what the future has to offer. When he courageously steps out of his machine for the first time, he finds himself in the year 802,701-and everything has changed. In this unfamiliar utopian age, creatures seem to dwell together in perfect harmony. Thinking he can study these marvelous beings and unearth their secret then return to his own time, he discovers that his only avenue of escape, his invention, has been stolen.
Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term "time machine", which was coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The book has been adapted for a number of films and elevision shows, as well as inspiring other science fiction writers.

surprisingly captivating
I will be honest, I had no expectations for this one, however I have to say that I was quickly intrigued by H.G. Wells' Time Machine. The writing was fluent and what I liked the most, was that his protagonist remained unnamed. This creates a distance between the reader and character which makes it feel like one is reading a research diary. The story itself is short, yet gripping and follows the story of a scientist, who uses a time machine and then finds himself in another timeline. There he meets two types of creatures, the Eloi and the Morlocks one being friendly and the other ones vicious. After he realises that the time machine has disappeared he has to face his and the kinder species' greatest fear. I highly recommend the book if one wants to read into one of the first dystopian novels and I will for sure be reading more of Wells' work in the future.
