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).

《時間機器》(The Time Machine, 1895)是韋爾斯(Herbert George Wells)的一本小書,他本身就是很有意思的一個人,是新聞記者、史學大傢、也是社會學傢、小說傢。《時間機器》是他比較早的一本小書,但被認定為“科幻小說的誕生”。 故事適閤一口氣看完,開篇一群...
評分 評分韋爾斯在科幻作傢中,雖不如凡爾納但也名氣蜚聲世界,並且算是另一種流派,凡爾納注重科技本身,以及科技實現後的可笑或者可悲結局。而韋爾斯則關注的是社會政治影響等,算是科技的社會流派。 《時間機器》:錶現的是在時間機器的帶領下,發明傢在未來的見聞。其實主旨是反映貧...

評分描寫性的文字覺得有點太多誒……
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.
評分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.
評分科幻小說的鼻祖。科幻為皮,骨肉是作者對社會問題的看法和科普
