The Time Machine
Fiction e-Book-of-the-Month, March 2002. A CENTURY AGO, this tale of a journey eight hundred thousand years into the future enthralled readers with its daring and imagination. H.G. Wells' first book won him instant acclaim, and today, his novel stands as one of the true masterpieces of science fiction literature. The Time Traveller's astonishing voyages bring him to an unfamiliar utopia, where marvelous and beautiful creatures live in harmony with no seeming needs or strife. How they are able to preserve this balance remains hidden from the Traveller - until one day his Time Machine vanishes. With this his only means back to his own time, the Time Traveller embarks on a search that unearths the dark secret of this paradise - a class struggle that was a metaphor for Wells' own Victorian era, and that remains a potent metaphor for society today.
