Herbert George Wells was born in 1866 in London. He attended Bromley Academy, a private day school. After attending the Normal School of Science in South Kensington, he became a science teacher. At the Normal School, he studied under Thomas Henry Huxley, a famous advocate of the scientific theory of evolution.
Several early versions of The Time Machine were published in the early 1890s, but the completed novella did not appear until 1895, when Wells was 34 years old. It was the first tale of time travel, and it is considered one of the forerunners of the science fiction genre.
The Time Machine's literary influences are numerous. Most obvious is Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, written a century earlier. The Time Machine is a fusion of tales from fantastic lands, commentary on current British social questions, and an introduction to cutting-edge scientific theories.
Wells went on to publish more works of science fiction, including The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). He also published comic works of fiction such as The History of Mr. Polly (1910) and An Outline of History (1920).

评分1809年达尔文出生的时候,拉马克的《动物学哲学》刚刚面世;1831年他登上“贝格尔号”的时候,玛丽•雪莱的《弗兰肯斯坦》被重新修订出版;而1859年《物种起源》发表时,科幻小说只还只是雪莱的婴儿,凡尔纳的世界冒险在等待成功,而威尔斯干脆还在天堂里观察将要投身其中的...
评分The future of mankind is not at all admirable, I guess, for anyone who finished Wells' "The Time Machine". The sympathetic account of the Eloi world is an poignant allegory pessimistically indicating the tradegy of our future. The Morlocks, however, even be...
评分《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...

评分描写性的文字觉得有点太多诶……
评分I like this one for it as the foundation of scientific stories built the imagination framework and timeline for others. Maybe time machine is so cliche that the afterwards creations always try to imitate the way.
