The Time Machine By H G Wells

Иностранный язык

(1866 – 1946) Essay, Research Paper The Time Machine, H.G. Wells’ first novel is often referred to as “pseudo-scientific.” Along with Jules Vernes, Wells was a pioneer in science-fiction writing, though he never liked having his novels compared to Vernes’. Wells claimed his novels always meant to depict political beliefs, and were never intended to be realistic. Brought up in a lower-class section of Bromley, Kent, England, the author witnessed the conspicuous class distinctions of the late nineteenth century. In The Time Machine Wells portrays what he felt could happen to mankind as the divisive gulf between the indolent rich and hard-working poor became wider and wider. Though written in the late 1800s, Wells’ descriptions of the weak Eloi and the predatory subterranean Morlocks are rooted in scientific hypotheses that are at once interesting, feasible and frightening possibilities for humanity’s future.
