The Time Machine
Un inventor victoriano construye una máquina para viajar en el tiempo y regresa con noticias del año 802 701.
Un hombre conocido solo como el Viajero del Tiempo explica a sus invitados a cenar que el tiempo es una cuarta dimensión, y más tarde regresa con una historia para demostrarlo. Ha viajado en una máquina de su invención hasta un futuro lejano, donde conoce a dos pueblos muy distintos y debe decidir qué son. La novela corta de H. G. Wells, de 1895, dio al mundo la expresión «máquina del tiempo».

Por qué importa
The Time Machine is short, fast and strangely calm. A gentleman inventor sits in a lamplit room and describes, without panic, what he found in the year AD 802,701. It still reads as alive because Wells wastes no time on gadgetry. The machine is a vehicle for a question: what happens to people when their conditions of life are pulled far enough apart? The answer he imagines is unsettling in the way a good argument is, and it keeps the book on syllabi and reading lists well beyond the age of the genre it helped start.
Wells began with a story called The Chronic Argonauts (1888) in his college paper, rewrote it as seven essays in the National Observer in 1894, then as a serial in the New Review from January to May 1895, for which he was paid £100. Holt published the first book edition in the US on 7 May 1895, and Heinemann followed in Britain on 29 May. Wells coined the term “time machine”, and the book is credited with making time travel a deliberate, controllable act. It is also an early example of the dying-Earth story. The 1960 film by George Pal and a 2002 remake followed.
Watch the two peoples the Traveller meets, the Eloi and the Morlocks, and how his explanation of them changes as he learns more; Wells presents them as descendants of the upper and lower classes, and the book is often read as a comment on class inequality. Wells had studied biology under T. H. Huxley and joined the socialist Fabian Society, and both show in the book’s thinking. The ending is open-ended; read the last pages slowly and note what the narrator does and does not claim.
