Time Machine

<b>The revolutionary novel that catapulted readers into the future from the father of science fiction H.G. Wells. </b> <p/>I've had a most amazing time.... <p/> So begins the Time Traveller's astonishing firsthand account of his journey eight hundred thousand years beyond his own era--and the story that launched H. G. Wells's successful career. With a speculative leap that still fires the imagination Wells sends his brave explorer to face a future burdened with our greatest hopes...and our darkest fears. A pull of the Time Machine's lever propels him to the age of a slowly dying Earth. There he discovers two bizarre races--the ethereal Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks--who not only symbolize the duality of human nature but offer a terrifying portrait of tomorrow as well. <p/> Published in 1895 this masterpiece of invention captivated readers on the threshold of a new century. Thanks to Wells's expert storytelling and provocative insight <i>The Time Machine</i> will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come. <p/> <b>With an Introduction by Greg Bear</b><br> <b>and an Afterword by Simon J.
