Description

A scientist rides his time machine into a distant future where gentle Eloi and fearsome Morlocks share a divided Earth, then faces what humanity has become. Wells's pioneering adventure of evolution, class, and curiosity that will not stop. Spoken as when inventing tomorrow still asks whether you can survive what you find there.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
