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
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...

描写性的文字觉得有点太多诶……
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.
