In a quiet laboratory in Victorian London, a brilliant scientist known only as the Time Traveller discovers the key to the fourth dimension. With a flash of light and a leap through the centuries, he is propelled 800,000 years into the future—to a world that is far from the utopia he imagined.
The Earth is now inhabited by two strange, diverging races: the frail, childlike Eloi, who live in sunlit ease, and the savage, light-fearing Morlocks, who dwell in the dark bowels of the earth. As the Time Traveller’s machine disappears, he is forced into a desperate struggle for survival, uncovering a terrifying truth about the ultimate fate of mankind.
H. G. Wells’ groundbreaking novella is the foundational masterpiece of modern science fiction. A chilling, visionary tale that explores the limits of evolution, social class, and time itself.
Journey to the end of time and witness the destiny of the human race.

Über Autor(innen)

Wells, H.G.
Herbert George Wells, often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction," was a visionary whose imagination reshaped the literary landscape of the 20th century. Born into a working-class family in Kent, England, Wells rose through sheer intellectual brilliance and a scholarship to the Royal College of Science, where his studies in biology under T.H. Huxley profoundly influenced his writing.

While his contemporaries focused on the realism of the Victorian era, Wells looked toward the stars and the hidden dimensions of time. With the publication of The Time Machine in 1895, he achieved instant fame, followed by a string of "scientific romances" including The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The War of the Worlds.
