内容简介

我是生活在英国伦敦的一名科学家，我发明了一台时间机器。时间旅行可能吗?探索之前，没有真相！我决定亲身试验。乘坐它，我到了未来公元802701年，眼前的景象太不可思议了……

“《时间机器》是科幻小说中奠基性的作品，开创了时间旅行题材的先河，其故事曲折而充满张力，意蕴深远，至今读来仍然无比震撼，是科幻文学中阅读的经典之作。”——刘慈欣（《三体》作者,雨果奖得主）

“In a moment I was clutched by several hands, and there was no mistaking that they were trying to haul me back . . . You can scarce imagine how nauseatingly inhuman they looked – those pale chinless faces and great, lidless, pinkish-grey eyes!”

An English scientist regales his dinner guests with the tale of his travels to the year 802,701, where he discovers that the human race has evolved into two distinct societies. The Eloi, elegant and peaceful, yet lacking spirit, are terrorised by the sinister, light-fearing Morlocks, who live underground, surrounded by industry. And when his time machine mysteriously vanishes, the scientist must descend to the realm of the Morlocks in order to find his only hope of escape . . .

H. G. Wells is considered a founding father of modern science fiction, coining the term ‘time machine’ and popularising the idea of time travel in literature.
