English Classics: The Time Machine
English Classics is literature's collection with particular rooms to increase reader's interest in reading classics.
This book includes The Time Machine as one of the collections. Come with us to explore the adventures story through time machine.

The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. The Time Machine is not a novel about time travel, time travel paradoxes, and so on. It is speculation about the distant future of humanity and, closer to home, about class conflict and the evolution of industrial civilization. The story revolves around a Victorian man and his theory of time travel. To prove it, he builds a machine and travels 800,000 years into the future where he befriends a group of people, the Eloi, who are descended from modern humans. They were much shorter, the likes of small children who only ate fruit and spent most of their day playing games. They have no working concept, they lack critical thinking skills and are unable to react logically to problems. They are also afraid of the dark.

This is an original time travel story. Which social class and how technical innovations can change humanity is more important to the story, than the fact that whether the narrator can actually travel to 802,701 AD. This is a story about exploring the possibilities of the present rather than the distant future.
