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).
Thomas Henry Huxley,就是大名顶顶的赫胥黎,也是胡适的老师

评分《指环王》、《时光机器》的小说原著皆经典,二者的电影版本亦经典,都非常值得一看。但由于媒介和受众的不同,两种文本诠释形式便出现了差异,根本原因源自小说作者的相对小众性追求和魔幻电影的大众化市场取向。 首先在主题展示上,电影突出爱情和友情等普世情怀,弱...

评分描写性的文字觉得有点太多诶……
评分随着时间穿越,时间旅行者来到未来,发现人类分化为两种人,一种是资本家的后代,成为了地上的人,因为过度的和平享乐,这类人成为了又蠢又无能,什么也不会,啥也不干但却很漂亮好看的人类,另一种是广大的工人阶级的后代,他们生活在地下,一日日的不停工作,最后成为了适应黑暗的丑陋的人类,地下的人以地上的人为食物。 在开始第一章探讨了时间作为四维空间,第四种坐标轴,以及人类记忆瞬间穿越时间等东西。 总的来说,还是挺有意思的一本书。
评分I like this one for it as the foundation of scientific stories built the imagination framework and timeline for others. Maybe time machine is so cliche that the afterwards creations always try to imitate the way.
评分Not bad. With ideas new and fascinating at the time it was published. However, a little bit boring any way. I would recommend it to one either a little bit young like around 10 or so, who could get access to amazing ideas or mature enough to dig something more out of the first layer of thoughts.
