La ciencia ficción siempre ha sido un medio particularmente apto para cuestionar el rumbo de la civilización y analizar las posibles consecuencias que a partir de él pudiera sufrir la raza humana.
En esta novela, H. G. Wells, socialista utópico y considerado uno de los fundadores del género, sin renunciar a la aventura y a la acción, utiliza el tema del viaje en el tiempo, con sus singularidades y paradojas, para construir una visión crítica del porvenir de la humanidad, influido por su mirada escéptica de la sociedad industrial del siglo XIX.
En el futuro planteado por el autor, dos razas degradadas a un estado semisalvaje habitan un mundo desolado en el que todos los avances de nuestra cultura se han perdido: los eloi, hedonistas carentes de todo impulso, iniciativa o vigor, y los brutales morlocks, que viven en las profundidades de la tierra. El protagonista debe enfrentarse no sólo a los peligros de ese tiempo, sino también al desamparo en que se encuentra en un mundo en el que apenas puede comunicarse ni sentir identificación alguna.

Work Description

THE TIME MACHINE is a science fiction novella by H.G. Wells, published in 1895. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backwards in time. The term ""time machine"", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The book's protagonist is an English scientist and gentleman inventor living in Richmond, Surrey, in Victorian England, and identified by a narrator simply as the Time Traveller. The narrator recounts the Traveller's lecture.
