false 2493 233 <i>"I've had a most amazing time..."</i> So begins the Time Traveler's astonishing firsthand account of his journey 800,000 years beyond his own era- and the story that launched H.G. Wells's successful career and earned him the reputation as the father for science fiction. 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 the men of tomorrow as well. 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. 3234863 book 1895 The Time Machine total:11573|5:2184|4:4329|3:4019|2:865|1:174| 11573 42203 14976 600 3 5 false false Tue Oct 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 16:20:23 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 22 07:16:06 -0700 2008
