Product Description:
When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year a.d. 802,701, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment, and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man, he soon realizes that these beautiful people are simply remnants of a once-great culture 151 now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. They have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity 151 the sinister Morlocks. And when the scientist s time machine vanishes, it becomes clear he must search these tunnels if he is ever to return to his own era. Author: H.G. WellsFormat: 144 pages, Paperback Publisher: Penguin Classics (May 31, 2005) ISBN: 978-0141439976

In my opinion, this book gets an "A" for originality. Most stories of time travel that I have read or watched on the big screen include super intelligent humans and fantastic technology.

That end is kind of a signature for Wells' work, because he was really ... Read More

The Time Machine is one of those books I'd been meaning to read for years and finally got around to it this summer. I'm a sci-fi fan and enjoyed Wells's book, which was one of the first well known time travel stories ever written. It's a concise story without any unnecessary fluff, which makes it exciting all the way through.
