    About this audiobook

    Surely the Time Traveler threw great dinner parties! His guests were treated to a once-in-forever trial of a miniature time machine - an exquisite miniature that acted so flawlessly as to appear to be stage magic. That his guests did not believe the explanation - the machine vanished into the mists of the future - was patent. Still, a couple of the more thoughtful had reservations about branding the demonstration an outright trickery. And what about the nearly-complete full-size Machine in the Traveler's laboratory?



    Confronted at the next party by the disheveled Traveler, who had apparently suffered privations and who displayed two curious flowers of no known type, the Narrator's wonderment increased. For the Traveler provided a perfectly arresting story to explain his condition - a surprising tale of a far future where humankind divides into a carefree above-ground race, the Eloi, and a mechanical subterranean race, the Morlocks. A tale in which it appears that the inheritors of the Earth inhabit it as cattle for the feeding of their underground cousins!



    Believe, or disbelieve? But perhaps the inventive genius of a man who can translate "thousands of millions of days" of time travel into an exact date should not be doubted!

    • 5/5
      "The Time Machine" is a thought-provoking work that combines thrilling adventure with social commentary, exploring timeless themes of humanity's fate and the consequences of societal divisions.
    • 5/5
      "The Time Machine" explores the concept of time travel and its paradoxes, such as the potential for altering the past or creating alternate timelines. The Time Traveller's experiences prompt philosophical reflections on the nature of time and the limits of human knowledge.
    • 5/5
      The novel raises questions about the future of humanity and the direction of evolution. The Time Traveller theorizes that the Eloi and Morlocks are descendants of the same species, with the Eloi evolving into a passive, intellectually stunted race and the Morlocks evolving into a predatory, industrious one.
    • 5/5
      Through the depiction of this future society, Wells offers a critique of class divisions and social inequality.
    • 5/5
      The division between the Eloi, who represent the leisure class, and the Morlocks, who perform labor and live in darkness, reflects Wells's concerns about the consequences of industrialization and capitalism.
    • 5/5
      The Time Traveller arrives in the year 802,701 A.D. to find a world inhabited by two distinct species: the gentle, childlike Eloi and the savage, subterranean Morlocks. The Eloi live above ground in a seemingly idyllic society, but they are actually oppressed by the Morlocks, who maintain control beneath the surface.
    • 5/5
      The protagonist, known simply as the Time Traveller, invents a machine that allows him to travel through time. He embarks on a journey to the distant future, witnessing the evolution of Earth and humanity over millions of years.
    • 5/5
      "The Time Machine" is a classic work of science fiction that explores themes of time travel, social commentary, and the nature of humanity.
