Herbert George Wells was born in 1866 in London. He attended Bromley Academy, a private day school. After attending the Normal School of Science in South Kensington, he became a science teacher. At the Normal School, he studied under Thomas Henry Huxley, a famous advocate of the scientific theory of evolution.
Several early versions of The Time Machine were published in the early 1890s, but the completed novella did not appear until 1895, when Wells was 34 years old. It was the first tale of time travel, and it is considered one of the forerunners of the science fiction genre.
The Time Machine's literary influences are numerous. Most obvious is Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, written a century earlier. The Time Machine is a fusion of tales from fantastic lands, commentary on current British social questions, and an introduction to cutting-edge scientific theories.
Wells went on to publish more works of science fiction, including The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). He also published comic works of fiction such as The History of Mr. Polly (1910) and An Outline of History (1920).

评分 评分不愧是科幻小说鼻祖之一,写得真够……原始的。读起来和其他19世纪末的科幻或者类似科幻的小说有很多相似之处,比如说通篇第一人称,比如说大段大段独白,比如说主人公主观推理猜想段落比剧情超出一大截。这些让这本书读起来难免有些乏味,不过还好篇幅不长。这可能是作者是英...
评分书中有很多观点让我很是惊讶,也觉得确实很有道理,比如,时间是空间的第四维,“力量是需求的产物,安逸助长虚弱”,“人类终将毁了自己”。 基于现代科学技术水平蒸蒸日上,我从未想过人类会走向衰落的尽头。我们的社会一直把共产主义作为追求的最终目标,我也对共产...
30天知米阅读读完的。这是特别暖的一本书,而且结局很现实,过程也挺完美的,逻辑紧密。weena真的太可爱了。想法新奇,科幻书的典范之作。10分。
评分对未来世界的描述,明显受马克思的共产主义影响
