Editorial overview Touché

The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform on October 16, 2017, is a classic science fiction novella that explores the concept of time travel. In this work, originally released in 1895, Wells introduces the idea of a vehicle that allows its user to travel intentionally across time, coining the term “time machine.” The narrative follows the Time Traveler as he ventures into the distant future, specifically the year 802,701 A.D., where he encounters two distinct post-human races shaped by evolution.

Readers will discover a thought-provoking examination of humanity’s future through the contrasting societies of the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi are depicted as peaceful and childlike, while the Morlocks represent a darker, more industrial aspect of evolution. This edition, consisting of 72 pages and presented in English, invites readers to reflect on themes of civilization, progress, and the consequences of technological advancement.


Official synopsis Publisher

H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine, from 1895, popularized the idea of a vehicle that allows its user to travel intentionally and selectively across time, and indeed Wells is credited with coining the very term “time machine.” The Time Traveler of this novella tests his time machine with a leap forward to the year 802,701 A.D., to find that evolution has produced two very different post-human races – the peaceful and childlike fruit-eating Eloi and the Morlocks – pale, darkness-dwelling troglodites who operate the underground machinery that makes this seeming paradise possible.
