HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

"In a moment I was clutched by several hands, and there was no mistaking that they were trying to haul me back . . . You can scarce imagine how nauseatingly inhuman they looked - those pale chinless faces and great, lidless, pinkish-grey eyes!"

An English scientist regales his dinner guests with the tale of his travels to the year 802,701, where he discovers that the human race has evolved into two distinct societies. The Eloi, elegant and peaceful, yet lacking spirit, are terrorised by the sinister, light-fearing Morlocks, who live underground, surrounded by industry. And when his time machine mysteriously vanishes, the scientist must descend to the realm of the Morlocks in order to find his only hope of escape . . .

H. G. Wells is considered a founding father of modern science fiction, coining the term 'time machine' and popularising the idea of time travel in literature.

– Et av menneskehetens største (og våteste) drømmer er å finne opp en tidsmaskin som kan føre oss tilbake og frem i tid, slik at vi kan få svarene på de tingene vi alltid har lurt på. En mann har nettopp klart det, eller han påstår det. Han har klart å finne opp en tidsmaskin og reist nesten 1000 år frem i tid. I følge han vil menneskeheten skille seg ut i tro greiner, som har sin sammenheng i kampen mellom kapitalismen og kommunismen. Spørsmålet blir: Er dette sant? "The Time Machine" er en god og interessant science fiction-klassiker som skiller seg ut fra mengden. Selv sagt innholder denne romanen mange typiske trekkene ved en science fiction-historie, men er i tillegg et oppgjør mot klassesamfunnet som rådet rundt 1900-tallet. Med andre ord; denne science fiction-historien får deg til å tenke i tillegg til å underholde deg for noen timer! Anbefales for alle som liker god (science fiction-) litteratur.

– The Time Machine er en fantastisk bok skrevet av Bernard Walton. The Time Machine handler om "Tidsfareren" som selv påstår at han klarte å lage en tidsmaskin. Selvfølelig er folk skeptiske, derfor forteller Tidsfareren om sin ferd inn i fremtiden. Men når Tidsfarere kommer seg inn i fremtiden, veldig lagt inn i fremtiden møter han noen vesner som han antar at er mennesker, også vennelige. Men så begynner ting å gå galt, valdig galt... først blir tidsmaskinene tatt og møter Tidsfareren noen rare vesner fra verdenen under jorda, disse skapningen viser seg å ikke være helt ufarlige. The Time Machine er et mesterverk av en bok. Wells er en fantastisk science fiction forfatter. Digger du science fiction anbefaller jeg dere å kjøpe denne boken!
