This is the "Penguin English Library Edition" of "The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells. 'Great shapes like big machines rose out of the dimness, and cast grotesque black shadows, in which dim spectral Morlocks sheltered from the glare'. Chilling, prophetic and hugely influential, "The Time Machine" sees a Victorian scientist propel himself into the year 802,701 AD, where he is delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty and contentment in the form of the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man. But he soon realizes that they are simply remnants of a once-great culture - now weak and living in terror of the sinister Morlocks lurking in the deep tunnels, who threaten his very return home. H. G. Wells defined much of modern science fiction with this 1895 tale of time travel, which questions humanity, society, and our place on Earth. "The Penguin English Library" contains 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

通过对人性和十九世纪末英国社会的审视表达对未来可能性的焦虑和欲望。乌托邦与反乌托邦的结合，个人主义和社会意识形态建构的冲突，社会文明和人类基因(本能)... it seems to me that Wells are also confused about the human future.
