H. G. Wells’ classic science fiction masterpiece The Time Machine explores human nature. The Time Traveler finds himself in 802,701 A.D., where he meets the peaceful Eloi and encounters the violent Morlocks. Wells uses these two descendants of man to explore evil and its causes, drawing conclusion that might surprise you in this riveting tale that has stood the test of time. This deluxe edition includes the portion of chapter eleven that had run in the original magazine version but had been removed by Wells for book publication; it runs after the story as “The Gray Man.” This edition also contains the full text of “The Chronic Argonauts,” Wells’ first ever time travel story, from which he borrows liberally for The Time Machine.
