Inneal na Tìme / The Time Machine

<p>Nuair a dh'fhoillsich e <em>The Time Machine</em> ann an 1895 chruthaich H. G. Wells gnè ficsein ùr sa Bheurla. Shoirbhich le Wells gu mòr na sgrìobhadair gu ìre mar thoradh air a' chliù a choisinn e airson <em>The Time Machine</em>.</p><p>'S e sgeul-frèam a th' anns an leabhar. Aig toiseach ghnothaichean èistidh ar neach-aithris ri mìneachaidhean saidheansail (nach tuig e) bhon phrìomh phearsa nach eil ainmichte uair sam bith san leabhar. 'S e an Siùbhlaiche-tìme a th' aig an neach-aithris air a' charactar èasgaidh seo. Nuair a chanas an Siùbhlaiche-tìme gu bheil e air inneal a dhealbhadh a tha comasach air triall air ais 's air adhart tro thìm cha chreid an luchd-èisteachd idir e. Ach an ath uair a choinnicheas a' bhuidheann aig taigh an t-Siùbhlaiche-tìme cluinnidh iad sgeulachd a dh'fhàgas e doirbh dhaibh a bhith cho cinnteach.</p><p>Tha Moray Watson na àrd-ollamh ann an Oilthigh Obar Dheathain far am bi e a' teagasg agus a' rannsachadh an dà chuid Gàidhlig agus Eadar-theangachadh.</p><p></p><p>H. G. Wells created a new genre of fiction in the English language with his publication of the full version of <em>The Time Machine</em> in 1895. Wells went on to become a successful writer to a large extent based on the fame he earned for <em>The Time Machine</em>.</p><p>The novel is a frame-tale. It begins with our narrator listening to a scientific explanation from the main character who is never named in the book. This 'Time Traveller' claims he has designed a machine that can travel back and forth through time. Although his dinner guests scoff at the idea their next visit to the Time Traveller's house leaves them in doubt.</p><p>Here for the first time Wells's iconic text appears bilingually with the Gaelic translation rendered by Moray Watson Professor of Gaelic and Translation at the University of Aberdeen.</p>
