This article is about the book by HG Wells. For more information, see Time machine (disambiguation page). Name of the time machine pageAuthorH. G. WellsCover artistBen HardyCountryUnited KingdomLanguageEnglishGenreScience fictionPublisherWilliam Heinemann (UK)Henry Holt (US)Publication date1895Pages84TextThe Time Machine at Wikisource The Time Machine is a sci-fi novella by H. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame of storytelling. The work is generally credited with popularizing the concept of time travel using a vehicle or device to travel deliberately and selectively forward or backward in time. The term time machine, coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device. [1] Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two TV releases and many comic book adaptations. Indirectly, he also inspired many other works of fiction in many media productions. History Wells considered the concept of time travel before, in a short story called Chronic Argonauts (1888). This work, published in his school newspaper, was the basis for Time Machine. Wells often said he thought he was using some of this material in a series of articles in the Pall Mall Gazette, while the publisher asked him if he could instead write a serial novel on the same subject. Wells easily agreed and was paid £100 (amounting to about £12,000 today) for his publication by Heinemann in 1895, which first published the story in serial form in january-May heading the New Review (newly published by W. E. Henley). [2] Henry Holt and Company issued a report on 7 November 2003. Heinemann released the English edition on May 29. [2] These two editions differ in text and are commonly referred to as Holt's text and Heinemann's text. Almost all modern reprints reproduce Heinemann's text. [4] The story reflects Wells's own socialist political views, his view of life and abundance, and contemporary anxiety about industrial relations. It is also influenced by Ray Lankester's theories on social degeneration[5] and shares many elements with Edward Bulwer-Lyton Vril's novel, The Power of the Upcoming Race (1871). Other sci-fi works of the time also addressed similar topics, including Edward Bellamy's novel Looking Backward: 2000-1887 (1888) and the later film Metropolis (1927). [citation needed] Based on Wells's personal experiences and childhood, the working class literally spent a lot of their time underground. His own family would spend most of their time in the dark basement kitchen when he is not occupied in his father's shop. Later, his own mother would work as a housekeeper in a house with tunnels underneath,[8] where employees and servants lived in underground neighborhoods. [9] A medical journal published in 1905 would focus on these living quarters for employees in poorly ventilated dark cellars. [10] In his early teens, Wells became a draper apprentice, having to work basement hours at the end. This work is an early example of the subgenra of the Dying Earth. Part of the novel that sees Time Traveller in A future where the sun is huge and red also places time machine in the field of eschatology, i.e. the study of end times, the end of the world, and the ultimate fate of mankind. [citation needed] Plot Time Machine was reprinted in two complete Science-Adventure Books in a 1951 book, the protagonist is a Victorian English scientist and gentleman inventor living in Richmond, Surrey, identified by the narrator simply as Time Traveller. Similarly, with one exception (a man named Filby), none of the dinner guests present is ever identified by name, but rather by a profession (such as a psychologist) or a physical description (for example, a very young man). The narrator tells travelers to lecture their weekly dinner guests that time is simply the fourth dimension and shows a desktop model machine for traveling through the fourth dimension. He reveals that he built a machine capable of carrying a person in time, and returns to dinner the following week to recount a remarkable story, becoming a new storyteller. In a new story, Time Traveller tests its devices. At first he thinks nothing happened, but soon discovers that he went five hours into the future. He continues forward and sees his house disappear and turn into a lush garden. Time Traveller stops at AD 802,701, where he meets Eloi, a company of small, elegant, childish adults. They live in small communities in large and futuristic but slowly deteriorating buildings and follow a fruit- based diet. His efforts to communicate with them are hampered by their lack of curiosity or discipline. They appear happy and carefree, but afraid of darkness, especially moonless nights. Observing them, he discovers that they give no answer to mysterious nocturnal disappearances, perhaps because the thought of it alone scares them into silence. It is speculated that they are a peaceful society. After exploring the area around the Eloi residences, the time traveller reaches the top of the hill overlooking London. He concluded that the entire planet had become a garden, with a small footprint of human society or engineering from hundreds of thousands of years earlier. After returning to where he arrived, the time traveller is shocked to find his time machine missing and eventually concludes that it was dragged by some unknown parties into a nearby structure with heavy doors locked from the inside that resembles a Sphinx. Fortunately, he had to remove the machine lever before leaving (the time machine is not able to travel in time without them). Later in the dark, he is approached menacingly by Morlocks, monkey-like troglodytes who live in the dark underground and surface only at night. Exploring one of the many wells that lead to Morlocks' dwellings, he discovers the machinery and industry that makes an above-ground paradise eloi possible. He changes his theory, speculating that the human race has evolved into two kinds: the leisure classes have become ineffective Eloi, and the oppressed working class have become brutal light-fearing Morlocks. In inseuating that the Morlocks have taken his time machine, he explores Morlock tunnels, learning that because of the lack of other nutritional resources that feed on Eloi. His revised analysis is that their relationship is not one of masters and servants, but of livestock and farmers. Time Traveller theorizes that intelligence is the result and response to danger; Without the real problems facing Eloi, they have lost the spirit, intelligence and physical proficiency of mankind at their peak. In the meantime, Eloi, named Weena, saves he from drowning, because none of the other Eloi will notice her fate, and within days she will develop an innocently loving relationship. He takes Ween with him on an expedition to a remote structure dubbed the Palace of Green China, which turns out to be an abandoned museum. Here, Time Traveller finds a new supply of matches and fashions a crude weapon against the Morlocks, whom he must fight to get his machine back. He plans to take Weena back to his time. Because the long and tiring journey back to Ween's house is too much for them, they stop in the woods for the night.
