This article is about a book by Herbert Wells. For other purposes, see the Time Machine (disambigation). Page Title of the Time MachineAuthor. G. WellsCover artistBen HardyCountryUnited KingdomLanguageEnglishHenreScience fictionPublisherWilliam Heinemann (UK) Henry Holt (USA) Publishing date1895Pages84TextThe Time Machine on Wikisource The Time Machine - a sci-fi novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame of storytelling. This work is usually credited with popularizing the concept of time travel using a vehicle or travel device intentionally and selectively forward or back in time. The term time machine, coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films with the same name, as well as two television versions and many comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many other works of fiction in many media productions. Wells's story has examined the concept of time travel before, in a short story called Chronic Argonauts (1888). This work, published in his college newspaper, was the basis for a time machine. Wells often claimed that he thought about using some of this material in a series of articles at Pall Mall Gazette, until the publisher asked him if he could instead write a serial novel on the same subject. Wells willingly agreed and received 100 pounds (which is about 12,000 pounds today) for his publication Heinemann in 1895, which first published the story in serial form in the January-May issue of the New Review (recently under the nominal editor of W. E. Henley). Henry Holt and the Company published the first edition of the book (possibly from another manuscript) on 7 May 1895; On May 29, Heinemann published an English edition. These two editions differ in textually and are commonly referred to as Holt's text and Heineman's text, respectively. Almost all modern reissues reproduce the text of Heinemann. History reflects Wells' own socialist political views, his view of life and as well as the modern fear of industrial relations. It also depends on Ray Lankester's theories about social degeneration and is shared by many many with Edward Balver-Litton's novel Vril, The Power of the Bed (1871). Other sci-fi works of the time, including Edward Bellamy's the novel Looking Back: 2000-1887 (1888) and the later film Metropolis (1927), were devoted to similar themes. Based on Wells' personal experience and childhood, the working class literally spent a lot of time underground. His own family will spend most of their time in the dark basement of the kitchen when not busy in his father's shop. Later, his own mother worked as a housekeeper in a house with tunnels downstairs, where staff and servants lived in underground rooms. The medical journal, published in 1905, will be dedicated to these living quarters for servants in poorly ventilated dark cellars. In his early teens, Wells became a draper's apprentice, and he had to work for hours in the basement. This work is an early example of the subgenre of the Dying Earth. Part of the novel, which sees the Time Traveler in the distant future, where the sun is huge and red, also places the Time Machine in the realm of eschatology, i.e. the study of the end of time, the end of the world and the ultimate destiny of mankind. The plot of the Time Machine was reissued in two complete science-adventure books in 1951 the book's protagonist is a Victorian English scholar and gentleman inventor living in Richmond, Surrey, identified by the narrator simply as a time traveler. Similarly, with one exception (a man named Philby), none of the dinner guests present is ever identified by name, but rather by profession (such as a psychologist) or physical description (e.g., a very young person). The narrator tells the traveler's lecture to his weekly dinner guests that time is just the fourth dimension and demonstrates the tabletop model machine for the fourth dimension. He reveals that he has built a machine capable of carrying a man in time, and returns for dinner next week to tell a wonderful story, becoming a new narrator. In the new narrative, the Time Traveler tests his device. At first he thinks that nothing happened, but soon learns that he went five hours into the future. He continues to move forward and sees his house disappear into a lush garden. The time traveler stops at 802 701 AD, where he meets Eloie, a society of small, elegant, child adults. They live in small communities in large and futuristic but slowly deteriorating buildings, and follow a fruit diet. His efforts to communicate with them are hindered by their lack of curiosity or discipline. They seem happy and carefree, but are afraid of dark and especially moonless nights. Watching them, he discovers that they give no answer to the mysterious nocturnal perhaps because the thought of it itself scares them into It assumes that they are a peaceful society. After exploring the area around Eloie's residences, the time traveler reaches the top of the hill overlooking London. He concludes that the entire planet has become a garden, with few traces of human society or technology from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Returning to the place where he arrived, the time traveler shocked to find his time machine missing and eventually concludes that he was dragged by some unknown side in a nearby structure with heavy doors locked from the inside that resembles the Sphinx. Luckily, he removed the levers of the machine before leaving it (the time machine is unable to travel back in time without them). Later, in the dark, morlocks, monkeys like troglodytes who live in the dark underground and surface only at night, approach him menacingly. Exploring one of the many wells that lead to the Morlocks' dwellings, he discovers the machinery and industry that makes Eloya's above-ground paradise possible. He changes his theory, speculating that the human race has become two species: leisurely classes have become ineffective Eloie, and oppressed working classes have become cruel light-fearing Morlocks. Upon learning that the Morlocks have taken his time machine, he explores the Morlock tunnels after learning that, for lack of any other means of subsistence, they feed on Eloy. His revised analysis is that their relationship is not one of the lords and servants, but of cattle and ranches. The time traveler believes that intelligence is the result and response to danger; without the real problems facing Eloie, they lost the spirit, intelligence and physical fitness of humanity at their peak. Meanwhile, he rescues Eloie by the name of Weena from drowning as none of the other Eloie take any notice of her plight, and they develop an innocently affectionate relationship within days. He takes Weena with him on an expedition to a distant structure, called the Palace of Green Porcelain, which turns out to be an abandoned museum. Here, a time traveler finds a fresh stock of matches and fashion raw weapons against Morlocks, whom he must fight to get his car back. He plans to bring Weena back in due course. Because the long and tedious journey back to the Weena house is too much for them, they stay in the woods for the night. They are then fed morlocks in the night, whereby Weena faints. The traveler escapes when a small fire, which he left behind them to distract the Morlocks, burns them like a forest fire; Weena and chasing Morlocks are lost in the fire and the time traveler is devastated over his loss. The Morlocks open the Sphinx and use the time machine as bait to capture the Traveler, not realizing that he will use it to escape. He attaches the levers before he travels 30 million years from its time. There he sees some of the last living creatures on the dying Earth: Terrible reddish crab creatures slowly roaming the blood-red beaches, chasing huge butterflies, in a world covered in plain lichen vegetation. He continues to make leaps forward in time, seeing as the rotation of the Earth gradually stops, and the sun becomes bigger, redder and dim, and the world falls silent and freezes when the last degenerate living things die out. Shocked, he returns to the car and returns in due course, arriving at the lab just three hours after he initially left. He arrives late for his own dinner party, after which, after eating, the time traveler connects his adventures with his unbelieving visitors, producing as evidence two strange white flowers that Wines put in his pocket. The original narrator then takes over and tells that he is back at the time traveler's house the next day, finding him preparing for another journey and promising to return in a short time. However, the narrator reveals that he waited three years before writing and stating the time traveller did not return from his journey.
