The Time Machine

By H.G. Wells.

First published 1895.

Published by Bantam Classics.

Paperback.

ISBN-10: 0553213512

Description:

When the Time Traveller courageously stepped out of his machine for the first time, he found himself in the year 802,700 – and everything had changed. In this unfamiliar, utopian age, creatures seemed to dwell together in perfect harmony. The Time Traveller thought he could study these marvelous beings – unearth their secret and then return to his own time – until he discovered that his invention, his only avenue of escape, had been stolen.

H.G. Well's famous novel of one man's astonishing journey beyond the conventional limits of the imagination first appeared in 1895. It won him immediate recognition and has been regarded ever since as one of the great masterpieces in the literature of science fiction.
