The Time Machine / Η μηχανή του χρόνου

A seminal and hugely imaginative work of early science fiction, H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine is the first and greatest modern portrayal of time-travel, edited by Patrick Parrinder with an introduction by Marina Warner and notes by Steven McLean in Penguin Classics.
When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year 802,701 AD, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man, he soon realises that this beautiful people are simply remnants of a once-great culture – now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. But they have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity – the sinister Morlocks. And when the scientist’s time machine vanishes, it becomes clear he must search these tunnels, if he is ever to return to his own era.

Μία χρονομηχανή μεταφέρει τον επιβάτη της σε εποχές που έχουν ξεχαστεί από την πάροδο των αιώνων ή σε εποχές που δεν έχουν έρθει ακόμη.
