A bordo de sua Máquina do Tempo, o cientista que narra esta história parte do século XIX para o ano de 802701. Nesse futuro distante, ele descobre que o sofrimento da humanidade foi transformado em beleza, felicidade e paz. A Terra é habitada pelos dóceis Eloi, uma espécie que descende dos seres humanos e já formou uma antiga e enorme civilização. Mas os Eloi parecem ter medo do escuro, e têm todos os motivos para isso: em túneis subterrâneos vivem os Morlocks, seus maiores inimigos. Quando a Máquina do Tempo que levou o Viajante some, ele é obrigado a descer às profundezas para recuperá-la e voltar ao presente.
Misturando uma imaginação singular, um tema inovador e muitas reviravoltas, A Máquina do Tempo foi o primeiro romance publicado por H. G. Wells, em 1895. Chamado de gênio e considerado um pioneiro, Wells abriu caminho não só para seus livros e sua visão de mundo, mas para novas possibilidades na literatura.

Work Description

The Time Traveller, a dreamer obsessed with traveling through time, builds himself a time machine and, much to his surprise, travels over 800,000 years into the future. He lands in the year 802701: the world has been transformed by a society living in apparent harmony and bliss, but as the Traveler stays in the future he discovers a hidden barbaric and depraved subterranean class. Wells's transparent commentary on the capitalist society was an instant bestseller and launched the time-travel genre.
