"In a moment I was clutched by several hands, and there was no mistaking that they were trying to haul me back ... You can scarce imagine how nauseatingly inhuman they looked - those pale chinless faces and great, lidless, pinkish-grey eyes!"

An English scientist regales his dinner guests with the tale of his travels to the year 802,701, where he discovers that the human race has evolved into two distinct societies. The Eloi, elegant and peaceful, yet lacking spirit, are terrorised by the sinister, light-fearing Morlocks, who live underground, surrounded by industry. And when his time machine mysteriously vanishes, the scientist must descend to the realm of the Morlocks in order to find his only hope of escape ...

H. G. Wells is considered a founding father of modern science fiction, coining the term 'time machine' and popularising the idea of time travel in literature.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a professional writer and journalist who published more than a hundred books, including pioneering science fiction novels, stories, essays, and programs for world regeneration. He was a founding member of numerous movements, including Liberty and PEN International – the world's oldest human rights organisation – and his Human Rights laid the foundations for the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Wells' controversial and progressive views on equality and the shape of a truly developed nation continue to be directly relevant to our world today. Wells was, in the words of Bertrand Russell, "an important liberator of thought and action." Although best remembered for his groundbreaking science fiction novels, including The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man , and The Island of Doctor Moreau, Wells also wrote extensively on history, politics, and social affairs and was one of the greatest intellectuals of his time.
