Editorial Review:
The story that launched Wells's successful career-the classic tale of the Time Traveler and the extraordinary world he discovers in the far distant future. A haunting portrayal of Darwin's evolutionary theory carried to a terrible conclusion.
When the Time Traveler courageously stepped out of his machine for the first time, he found himself in the year 802,700--and everything had changed. H.G. Wells's famous novel of one man's astonishing journey beyond the conventional limits of the imagination is regarded as one of the great masterpieces in the literature of science fiction.

This is one of my fave classics. An easy read that makes you wonder what if? I usually dont like sci fi books but this is truely an exception.
Rating: - SHAMAN
They seek him now, they seek him then,
They seek the blighter everywhen.
If in some future age he's dead,
About him now what's to be said?
Time travel stories since Wells wrote have become far cleverer and more sophisticated than The Time Machine, but I have never yet read one to equal it. Wells does not contort his or his reader's mind round the now-familiar paradoxes. How is any era visited or returned to by a time-traveller affected by the visit or the return? If objects ...
