The Time Machine

Herbert George Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946), usually referred to as H. G. Wells, was an English writer. He was prolific in many genres, writing dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, satire, biography, and autobiography, including even two books on war games. He is now best remembered for his science fiction novels and is often called a "father of science fiction", along with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. During his own lifetime, however, he was most prominent as a forward-looking, even prophetic social critic who devoted his literary talents to the development of a progressive vision on a global scale. A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of airplanes, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. Brian Aldiss referred to Wells as the "Shakespeare of science fiction”. His most notable science fiction works include The Time Machine (1895), The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times. Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context. He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views. His later works became increasingly political and didactic, and he wrote little science fiction, while he sometimes indicated on official documents that his profession was that of journalist. Novels such as Kipps and The History of Mr Polly, which describe lower-middle-class life, led to the suggestion that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens,[12] but Wells described a range of social strata and even attempted, in Tono-Bungay (1909), a diagnosis of English society as a whole. A diabetic, Wells co-founded the charity The Diabetic Association (known today as Diabetes UK) in 1934.

Well's famous novel of one man's astonishing journey beyond the conventional limits of the imagination first appeared in 1895.It won him immediate recognition, and has been regarded ever since as one of the great masterpieces in the literature of science fiction.

读后感

——“我们都有时间机器，带我们回去的是回忆，带我们前进的是梦想。” 赫伯特·威尔斯，于1866年出生于英国肯特郡布朗，于1946年去世。曾获得伦敦大学帝国理工学院的理学学士学位。他创作的科幻小说对该领域影响深远，如“时间旅行”、“外星人入侵”、“反乌托邦”等都是20世...  

这本书是1895年出版的，被许多人认定为“科幻小说诞生元年”，威尔斯和凡尔纳更是有“科幻文学之父”的称号。 其实故事本身因为年代久远的关系，看起来可能没有那么新颖。它讲述了一位“时间旅者”通过时间机器穿越到802701年，发现人类进入了衰退期，并进化为两个种族：艾洛伊...

《时间机器》（The Time Machine, 1895）是韦尔斯（Herbert George Wells）的一本小书，他本身就是很有意思的一个人，是新闻记者、史学大家、也是社会学家、小说家。《时间机器》是他比较早的一本小书，但被认定为“科幻小说的诞生”。 故事适合一口气看完，开篇一群...  

非常Readable，英文很简单，每个chapter长度控制得很好，悬念足够，让我禁不住一口气读完。我手上的书是有插图，插图也很有风格。 想到的一些简单记录： 1，比较早期的科幻类小说其实挺有前瞻性的，对未来的大胆猜测，十有八九是正确的。后期的科幻小说和电影/电视剧，都可以...
