About the Author:

The renowned science fiction writer Herbert Wells (1866–1946) is the author of numerous novels, novellas, and short stories.

Summary:

The book includes the novel The Time Machine along with ten additional stories. The protagonist of The Time Machine, a brilliant inventor, travels 800,000 years into the future using his remarkable device and encounters the delicate, pleasure-loving Eloi and the subterranean Morlocks. However, the Eloi pay a very high price for their seemingly prosperous existence.

The stories feature characters who invent a drug that accelerates human movement, create diamonds, stop the Earth’s rotation, dive fearlessly into the ocean depths, exchange bodies, confront a villain attempting to poison an entire city with plague bacteria, observe a distant island from the opposite hemisphere, witness the curious tale of an ostrich that swallowed a diamond, lose weight to the point of levitation, and perform extraordinary feats.

Even a century after their creation, the great writer’s works continue to astonish readers with their seamless fusion of reality and imagination.
