About the Book
What would happen if the host of the dinner you are
attending promises to tell you the story of how he
travelled through time? What would you say if this
story is full of details? What would you say if it is a real
story?
Named originally The Chronic
Argonaut in a journal
publication, The Time
Machine is one of the
greatest science fiction
works, consistent to H.G.
Wells’s pioneering on the
theme and subgenre,
which is characterized
by the exploration of
science and technology.
Through the plausibility
of the impossible, this
book narrates such
ordinary circumstances
likeupper-classcomfort,
society’s structure, and
evolutionist scientific
ideology.

About the Author
Herbert George Wells was an English writer born on
1866. Deeply inspired by Thomas More’s Utopia, Plato’s
Republic and his attendance to certain debating
schools, he soon started to make critique on society
through literature.
His work ranges from subjects like
biology and evolutionism —he even
published some text-books—
to socialism and ethics, but
he is mostly considered
as one of the founders
of science fiction: an
exploration about the
crescent grow of
technology and its
implications on
humanity.
He died in 1946.
