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).

評分 評分注意電影的結尾:他的僕人說要等著她的主人迴來,也就是電影人認為主人公的同時代都認為這個人已經失蹤瞭,而他其實已經去瞭未來,彆人都不知道真相。這是一個很美的傳說,是不是可以寓意我們的心有多遠就可以飛到多遠?(比如這個科學傢想象並且這樣做瞭所以他看到瞭未來並且...

評分Not bad. With ideas new and fascinating at the time it was published. However, a little bit boring any way. I would recommend it to one either a little bit young like around 10 or so, who could get access to amazing ideas or mature enough to dig something more out of the first layer of thoughts.
