Riassunto

This book is one of the most successful and representative works of British famous novelist Herbert George Wells. With the narrative form of the first person, it is full of suspense, and detailed description of the vivid future scenes, and the psychology of the characters with delicate depth. Main contents: The time traveler invents a magical time machine which can travels between any time and space. He rides the time machine through time and space of more than 80 million years, and finally arrives in AD 802701, entering a terrible world no one expects. In the world with luxurious products, human beings are divided into two very different creatures: the fragile petite Eloy people, leading a laid-back life on the ground, pampered, eating three square meals a day with mental and physical degradation; another one is aggressive and boorish Morlocks like monkeys, living in the dark underground in the day, and working in the rumbling machine. They fatten Eloy people for their own consumption. Time traveler escapes from that era, and flies to the world thousands of years later when he is greeted with horrifying and thrilling scenes where human beings are extinct and nothing is left except white butterflies and giant crabs. He finally returns to the present world and tells his travel experiences to friends. Soon after, he embarks on a second trip. This time, he does not come back, leaving us an eternal mystery.
