"The Time Machine" is a seminal science fiction novel written by H. G.
Wells. At one of his weekly dinner parties, an English scientist reveals
that he has devised a machine with the ability to carry a person through
time. To demonstrate his invention, he returns at dinner the following
week and recounts a remarkable tale. An example of classic science
fiction, "The Time Machine" is widely considered as responsible for the
popularisation of the concept of purposeful time travel, especially in
fiction. It is also in this novel that the term "time machine" was
coined by Wells. This book is highly recommended for all lovers of
science fiction and is not to be missed by fans of Wells' work. Herbert
George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a
variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social
commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions
to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Invisible
Man" (1897) and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such
as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are
republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the
author.
