The Time Machine
"I've had a most amazing time...."
So begins the Time Traveller'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 his reputation as the father of 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, The Time Machine will continue to enthrall readers for generations to come.

H. G. Wells
**H.G. Wells** (1866–1946) est un écrivain britannique, considéré comme l’un des pères fondateurs de la **science-fiction moderne**. Avec des œuvres comme *La Machine à explorer le temps*, *L’Homme invisible* ou *La Guerre des mondes*, il a révolutionné le genre en mêlant anticipation scientifique, réflexion sociale et narration captivante. Socialiste engagé, il a aussi écrit des essais et des romans réalistes, tout en imaginant des technologies qui préfigurent l’aviation, les voyages spatiaux ou même Internet. Son influence sur la littérature, le cinéma et la culture populaire reste immense.
