The Time Machine

Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific English writer of stories and novels and is frequently credited as being the father of science fiction.

"The Time Machine", first published in 1895, is possibly Wells' most famous work. It tells the story of the inventor of a vehicle which allows him to travel in time, and his first hand account of his adventures as he travels millions of years into the future, where mankind has evolved into something very different from the humans of the nineteenth century.
