SUMMARY:The Time Machine - H. G. Wells - Part of our BEST OF BRITISH season
DESCRIPTION:\n\nA seminal and hugely imaginative work of early science fict
 ion\, H.G. Wells's The Time Machine is the first and greatest modern portr
 ayal of time-travel\, edited by Patrick Parrinder with an introduction by 
 Marina Warner and notes by Steven McLean in Penguin Classics.\n\nWhen a Vi
 ctorian scientist propels himself into the year 802\,701 AD\, he is initia
 lly delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty\, content
 ment and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi\, an elfin species descende
 d from man\, he soon realises that this beautiful people are simply remnan
 ts of a once-great culture - now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. B
 ut they have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their para
 dise lurks another race descended from humanity - the sinister Morlocks. A
 nd when the scientist's time machine vanishes\, it becomes clear he must s
 earch these tunnels\, if he is ever to return to his own era.\n\n
