    H.G. Wells' classic science fiction-fantasy story, in which a scientist known only as "The Time Traveller" tells the tale of his journey to the year 802,701 A.D. and beyond, where he witnesses the end of human civilization as we know it, as well as the beginning of the end of the world. This original time-travel story has been copied many times, but never improved upon.

    I was assigned to read this for an English class in high school in 1950. A few years later I was assigned to read it for discussion in a science class. A few years ago, I came upon it on my bookshelves, and picked it up to read - because I knew I would enjoy reading it again! I have been enjoying reading books of all sorts ever since I could read. One summer day when I was eight, I was in our local library looking for a few books to check out and ended up being interviewed on the radio about the “ joy of reading”. I used to sneak my father’s books to read, mostly detective novels. He let me know, however, shortly after I started, that he knew. He also let me know he was proud of me for being interested in learning and reading, and we shared many wonderful books, and discussions about them everafter. Wonderful memories I’ve passed down to my children.

    Given to me as a Christmas gift when I was 10 years old, the opening sentences of this book stumped me with words I had never heard before.
    I still remember my slow going and the building fascination with the story. And yes, though I am now 62, I still have the paperback, brown and crumbling as it is, crumbling as I am as well, accompanying me through my travels through time.
    Much like the time traveler, the future I find myself in is disappointing, not because I am old and getting older, which I anticipated, but because the worldwide information network, which was supposed to dispel ignorance, has become an instrument of misinformation, exacerbating the divisions inherent in humanity.
    There is no longer any authority that can be trusted. What this means for humanity is not difficult to guess.
    The future is not what it used to be.

    I remember seeing the movie back in 1960 with my older brother and it totally captivated me and was a powerful influence in my life. I'd never read the book but I really enjoyed this audiobook. The movie was a good bit different. I think I remember in the movie The Time traveler went into the moorlock cavern to try to rescue Weena. But I think he was unsuccessful. I remember how that really moved me, the way he lost this beautiful female creature and his only companion. I was like eight or nine years old back then. What a great movie and classic.

      The movie made in 1960 had some changes (which was natural, being a movie and being adapted from the book) but all in all, it was a decent movie. I haven't seen the latest one, nor do I intend to. If that sounds closed minded, it's because I've been soured by far too many "updated adaptations" that are too interested in checking off every box on the PC checklist or pushing a message or agenda as opposed to telling a good story or being faithful to the source material. (Which seems to be the case with the 2002 version in every respect. As with all things, YMMV)

      @3volvedb3ing Před 2 lety +2

      @@TheDoctor1225 I totally agree, newer adaptions of films or books, are always riddled with agendas nowadays. However since it was 2002 I didn't really see an agenda per say that is relative to the Vile ones presently. But the books variation brings very deeper, broader scope to the world of the "Time machine" that I enjoy more than the 2002 film. I will be watching the 1960s adaption soon. I'm glad to hear your views on this. ✌🏿

    There is a problem HG Wells did not foresee~! Space, and time are moving (As in the Big Bang.). The entire planet, the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe are not in the same place, as you travel through time…… To have a Time Machine you would also need "Space Coordinates", and the "Time Machine would need to fly in order to track the Earths movements
    Without this, the 'Time Traveter" would be lost in space, because the planet earth would still be moving through space, as well.
    Example #1: Where you stand today, would not be the same place you stand tomorrow. Because the planet is turning, and orbits the sun, galaxy, and universe…
    Example #2 IF you were traveling on a Cruies Ship and it was out sailing the seas, although you have not move from cabin, you are not in the same place you were minutes ago….

    I first read this book as a kid, after it was featured in the TV series Wishbone. It is a much shorter book than I remember it being. I literally finished it in one evening just now.
    Spoiler alert:
    Regarding where the time traveler goes in the end, the book never says, but it is not hard to figure it out. He went back to the eloi, resolving to do things differently so that Weena would not die this time, and to destroy the morlocks so that they could no longer harm the eloi. He never came back because he had grown to care for the eloi, and he did not want to come back.
    The book is, in many ways, the same plot as the movie "Idiocracy". An ordinary man finds himself far in the future, where society has greatly diminished in its intelligence. This ordinary man is suddenly the smartest man in the world. At first, he wishes to return to the present. In the end, he decides to stay, and use his intelligence to make this future world a better place.
    Similarly, in Idiocracy, an average man wakes up 500 years in the future, where everyone else is stupid and he is suddenly a genius. He initially wants to return to the present/past (believing that someone had invented a time machine). After helping to make a positive difference, he begins to care for the people of the future, and announces that he has decided to stay (before finding out that the "Time Masheen" was just a dumb amusement park ride anyway).

    Great story read perfectly, also recommended is the outstanding Big Finish audio drama adaption done in 2017. It is almost 100% faithful to the book, just one or two slight alterations but nothing major.

      Morlocks came to be due to living underground for so long and being forced to adapt. Humans built the sphinx. Weena died which is the inevitable outcome of existing in time. So too did the time traveler. He wasn't immune to aging.

I presume this includes their clothing although I can't really see a Morlock sitting down at a sewing machine :) :) ..... maybe that's what the machinery was for?

      It could be that Britain was underwater in boiling water at the time of Pangea perhaps? Or a dinosaur could have just stepped on his machine?
