The Time Machine: Annotated Edition (Alma Classics Evergreens) Paperback – September 19, 2017

The Time Machine was H.G. Wells’ first published novel and it was a development of his previous story The Chronic Argonauts which was first aired in the Science School Journal that he edited as an undergraduate. To me the writing lacked the colourful grammar and language of his later works and at 107 pages it is definitely on the brief side.At the time H.G. was fascinated by anything scientific and by socialist politics; this storyline gave him an opportunity to include his comments on both.Since then there have been countless works about time travel but at the time the concept was quite novel. To modern readers his design of a time machine seems rather ridiculous with the traveller seated in the open, exposed to the weather and other physical danger. The science behind it is very weak but as no one has since managed to find a way to travel through time who can say whether he was right or wrong.The Time Machine gave me a pleasurable read and if you have not yet read The Time Traveller you should take advantage of this Alma Classic publication to do so. I have awarded three stars.Reviewed on Whispering Stories Book Blog*I received a free copy of this book, which I voluntarily reviewed

What an amazing classic !Haven't read for years and picked this up at a good price good quality book too.

Tutto o.k. prezzo e tempi ,libro per mio figlio .Avrei sicuramente girato mezzo mondo senza magari trovarlo subito come al solito e perdere anche del tempo è invece con un click fatto.

El libro me a parecido una pasada

Die Leseart ist sehr gut und mit Spannung folgte ich jeden Satz. Besser als jede Verfilmung!

Time travelling is a dream for everyone of us. For my part this story cools down my envy to go in the past or in the future.
