The Time Machine is a classic science fiction novella published in 1895. Set in Victorian England, the story follows an unnamed protagonist, the Time Traveler, who invents a machine capable of traversing the fourth dimension—time. Venturing into the distant future, he discovers a world divided into two distinct species: the Eloi, a frail and childlike race living in idyllic simplicity, and the Morlocks, subterranean and predatory creatures. Through this gripping tale, Wells explores themes of evolution, class division, and the uncertain fate of humanity. The Time Machine remains a thought-provoking exploration of the speculative possibilities of time travel and its implications.
