This classic 19th Century science fiction novel by H.G. Wells tells the story of a scientist who builds a machine that can travel through time. The Time Traveler details his journey into a radically changed and surprisingly dystopian future for humanity. When he appears to find himself stranded in this unfamiliar place and time among the gentle Eloi, will he be able to find his way back, or rather will he fall victim to the disturbing Morlocks? The themes presented in this fantastic tale are developed by Wells to pose serious critiques of the social stratification and ideas that existed in his own Victorian era.
