關於本電子書
H.G. Wells' "The Time Machine" is a seminal work of science fiction that intricately explores the implications of time travel through the experiences of an unnamed protagonist, known as the Time Traveller. Employing a narrative style marked by a blend of scientific rigor and social critique, Wells crafts a vivid tale that encapsulates the anxieties of the late 19th century regarding industrialization and class disparity. The novel not only delves into the speculative mechanics of time travel but also raises profound questions about humanity's trajectory, eventually leading to encounters with the distant and dystopian future inhabited by the Eloi and Morlocks. H.G. Wells, often dubbed the father of science fiction, was profoundly influenced by the rapid technological advancements and social upheavals of his time. Educated in the fields of biology and social sciences, Wells wielded his knowledge to illustrate the potential perils and benefits of scientific progress. His experiences as a progressive thinker shaped his narrative, making "The Time Machine" a vehicle for both entertainment and critical reflection on modernity and human evolution. For readers who seek not only an adventurous journey through time but also a thought-provoking examination of civilization's future, "The Time Machine" is an essential read. Wells' keen observations on society resonate even today, inviting contemplation on our choices and technological dependencies. Prepare to embark on a timeless voyage that challenges perceptions and awakens the imagination.
關於作者
Herbert George Wells, famously known as H. G. Wells (1866–1946), was an influential figure in both literature and social thought during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Kent, England, Wells was brought up in a working-class environment, which later shaped much of his sociopolitical commentary. His extensive education, supported by scholarships, culminated at the Normal School of Science in London, where he studied under the famed evolutionary biologist Thomas Huxley. Wells is often referred to as a pioneer of science fiction, with his novels incorporating prescient visions of the future, underscored by incisive social and political critique. 'The Time Machine (Unabridged)' is among his most lauded works, reflecting his innovative narrative style, wherein he leverages a science-fiction narrative to explore the social inequalities of his time and the perceived trajectory of human evolution. Wells's oeuvre is marked by a didactic zeal and a penchant for speculative imagination, with other significant titles including 'The War of the Worlds,' 'The Invisible Man,' and 'The Island of Doctor Moreau.' His literary contributions exude a blend of adventure and philosophical inquiry, making him a seminal and enduring figure in the annals of English literature. Wells's influence extended beyond the written word; he was also an active proponent of social reform and is noted for his forward-thinking ideas on global governance and peaceful resolution of international conflicts. His legacy is that of a visionary author who transcended the bounds of his contemporary society to envisage the potentialities of the human race.
