The time machine

First Book Report by David Fletcher :

The Time Traveler is certain he has created a device for moving forward and backward through the dimension of time. He proposes that his colleagues that they return next week for supper and they will be given proof. Filby returns to find that they are all at the house waiting in anticipation. Finally, the Time Traveler arrives in a disheveled state, covered in dirt and dust insisting on dining before he will recount his adventure to the group. He has built a time machine over the past two years and he launched himself through time just that morning. He said traveling through time feels like falling and produces a nauseous feeling. He traveled ahead in time to a period in time to eight hundred and two thousand into a hailstorm. He finds lovely but frail human-like creatures dressed in fine robes and sandals. They are simple-minded beings without depth, but absolutely harmless and they greet him with a garland of flowers around his neck. He notes their culture and customs, as they don't work but play, bathe, eat and sleep, are housed in pretty dwellings, and subsist on a diet of fruits. Gone are all traces of disease, fungi, gnats, weeds, pollutants, etc., from the earth.

That night his time machine disappears. He is in a panic, trapped in the future. He carries on like a madman for a while then regains his nerve and sets in for a long period of learning and discovery. Eventually he rescues a woman named Weena from certain death by drowning and she becomes inseparable from him. He happens to notice pale white figures moving quickly through the night carrying off dark objects. They have grayish-red eyes and hair down their backs. He likens them to human spiders, with lanky arms and legs and cruel repulsive faces. He now realized that humankind had evolved into dual species. The well to do had ceased to labor and become mindless things of worthless beauty, the Eloi, while the worker class had become a subterranean and nocturnal dweller creating and maintaining gigantic machinery, the Morlocks, providing all the needs of the upper world beings. He climbs down a well and is confronted by hordes of them, escaping by lighting matches and swinging a metal club at them.

Second Book Report :
The Time Machine was first published in 1894 as a serial under the name The Time Traveller in the National Observer. It was brought out as a book the next year under its current name and sold more than six thousand copies in a few months. H. G. Wells was just twenty-seven-years-old when the story, which came to be called a "scientific romance," was published. Wells's friend, William Henley, edited the National Observer, and Wells became part of a group of writers called "Henley's young men." The novel's appeal lies in its attempt to fathom what will become of human beings in the distant future. By making the central character of his story a time traveler who can transport himself back and forth in time with the aid of a machine he invented, Wells is able to explore many of the themes that obsessed him, including class inequality, evolution, and the relationship between science and society. In describing the future world of the effete Eloi and the cannibalistic Morlocks and the world beyond that in which all semblance of human life has been erased, Wells illustrates what he believes may very well be the fate of humanity. The novel's enduring popularity is evident in the three films adapted from the novel and the scores of others inspired by it.
