The Time Machine - (Penguin Classics) by H G Wells (Paperback)

The Time Machine by H.G.

Wells is a groundbreaking novel that redefines the genre of time travel.

This edition includes a newly established text, a full biographical essay on Wells, a list of further reading, and detailed notes.

The book follows a Victorian scientist who propels himself into the year a.d.

802,701, only to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment, and peace.

However, he soon realizes that these beautiful people are remnants of a once-great culture--now weak and childishly afraid of the dark.

The scientist must search the tunnels beneath their paradise to return to his own era when his time machine vanishes.

This edition also includes an introduction by Marina Warner, which considers Wells's development of the "scientific romance" and places the novel in the context of its time.

With over 1,700 titles in the Penguin Classics series, this book is a must-read for any literature lover.
