Description

The Time Machine is a groundbreaking novel of time travel that explores the consequences of human evolution. A Victorian scientist's journey to the year 802,701 reveals a world both beautiful and sinister. The Eloi, an elfin species, live in a paradise, but beneath their surface, the Morlocks lurk, a dark and malevolent force.

This edition of the novel includes a newly established text, a full biographical essay on the author, and detailed notes. Marina Warner's introduction provides context for the novel's development of the "scientific romance" genre.

Published by Penguin Classics, this edition offers authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors. With over 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
