The Time Machine

Public domain · Free4.3 (3)

A Victorian inventor builds a machine, pulls a lever and lands in the year 802,701, where the gentle Eloi and the underground Morlocks hide a terrible arrangement. Wells's first novel invented the time-travel story and still reads like a warning about where inequality leads.

The prose is dense in places but rewarding. Glad it was available as a proper ebook.
