Editorial overview Touché

The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, published by Tantor Audio on February 1, 2003, presents a fascinating exploration of time travel. This edition invites readers into a narrative where the time traveler journeys 800,000 years into the future, encountering a world inhabited by the Eloi, a race that enjoys a life of simple luxury yet has become complacent and unchallenged. The story unfolds as he recounts his experiences to friends at a dinner party, raising questions about the implications of a life devoid of adversity.

Readers will find a blend of science fiction and adventure as the time traveler navigates this future society, where the Eloi’s beauty contrasts sharply with their lack of intellect and curiosity. The narrative delves into themes of progress and the consequences of a life without struggle, as the time traveler uncovers the mysteries surrounding the underground machinery that sustains the Eloi. This edition, comprising 3 pages, offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the realms of literature and fiction, while also touching on elements of mystery and suspense.


Official synopsis Publisher

“I drew a breath, set my teeth, gripped the starting lever with both hands, and went off with a thud.” The time traveler is on his way to a different world-his world 800,000 years in the future. He returns and recounts his journey to his friends at a dinner party. In the future, humans called the Eloi live in simple luxury. They have become beautiful, but meek, living on their safe comfortable planet. The generations that have passed without challenge or adversity have dulled their minds. Underground machinery, built millenniums ago, feeds and clothes these innocent creatures, and still functions perfectly. But who runs the machinery for these people, and why they are afraid of the night?
