Samenvatting:

The Time Machine is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells, published in 1895.
One of the most renowned works of science fiction, The Time Machine reflects on the adventures of The Time Traveller-a man who constructs a machine which allows him to explore what the future has to offer. As he travels to as far as 802,701 AD, The Time Traveller encounters a world dominated by two types of creatures- beautiful and fragile Eloi and repulsive and brutal Morlocks. His journey then turns quickly from a series of observations into a dangerous quest to return back home, as he realizes that Morlocks have stolen his machine.
A dystopian novel that fascinates the readers from the very beginning, The Time Machine both reflects Wells's sceptical outlook on the future of the Late Victorian England and makes the reader meditate on the future of our civilization.
