Seize Your Copy The Time Machine Narrated By Lorenz B. Graham Formatted As Copy
for a school assignment, Meh. I thought it would be more exciting,
Side note: I wish I could read classic stories and not have them ruined by male characters saying shit like, "I know you don't understand, you sweet, silly little girl.
" At one point he literally says, "I am man," as if that were sufficient to explain his inevitable success.
Barf. I read this right after reading the book, The Classics Illustrated version is lots of fun and is closer to the original than many of the film versions, even though the cosmic end parts of the novel are not included.
This was the first science fiction novel that I can recall reading, when I was in theth orth grade.
Truly a masterpiece of the genre, and a seminal work that has inspired several generations of scifi writers to create their own time travel stories.
The book captivated me right from the start, with a plausible explanation of how Time as theth dimension is bound up with the otherdimension of everyday experience.
No explanation is offered for exactly how the time machine was able to traverse the chronological continuum but none is really needed.
The story combines adventure, romance, philosophy, and sociology into a seamless whole, encouraging readers to think not only about temporal physics but also about sociology, politics, and the future of the human race.
Incorporating some of the latest scientific theories from thes, when the book was written, Wells takes the reader on an unforgettable journey from Victorian London to the last days of life on Earth and back again, to a mysterious ending!
Highly recommended for all lovers of scifi from middle school on upward.
Meh. I've not yet read the original, but if this is any guide I think I might skip the novel all together.
I feel like I've seen a much better futurama episode of this amp that might be unfair as this work didamp still does have a big impact of pop culture, but the work is just past it's prime.
In the art direction this work falls squarely into the classic comic style which just feels innately icky to me.
Blergh, not worth it. I get that it's because of
the source material/time period but uhhhh, this book has some QUESTIONABLE themes Interesting and fun, but not particularly poignant when it comes to pointing to the future in my opinion.
When I first read this book I was, Well technically I didn't read it, but my parents and aunts/uncles read it to me, I was just looking at the pictures, since it was a classic illustrated edition, I loved it so much that I was asking for the specific story again and again, It is officially the first book I remember, Later in my life I read it countless times by my self :p in a regular edition.
I loved it then and still love it! I would recommend it to any one with a soft spot to science fiction
Not sure why I hadn't read this years ago it's reportedly a timeless no pun intended classic and from my favourite era of literature.
The truth is that I found this a very onedimensional read, Time traveller X, who we know nothing about, invites some peers to dinner and tells them an unlikely tale of time travel we are to understand is the truth.
The dystopian farfuture he experiences does show some well thought out insight and possibly is a didactic fable on the potentially negative direction of the human race at a time when Victorian Britons they thought they knew everything.
Glad I've read it, but not to be repeated, Cute, cool simple illustrations that are very reminiscent of early comic books, I guess to further the “classic” feel of the book.
Took me fully like five minutes to read the whole thing, Also, at the end theres a list of all the books HG Wells wrote which, Wow. Many many books.
Ive read none of them, and I would like the amend that sometime soon lol,
Might start with the actual book of The Time Machine as although this wee thing was fun I have a strange feeling hmmm I wonder why that maybe, just maybe, a lot of stuff was chopped out to make it more concise.
Just just possibly.
Anyway, yea, dope, As well as wanting to read the full book Id also love to read more of these Illustrated Classics.
Downside was that it was a lil sexist, Some lines were so goddamn cringy and made me wanna barf at this guys feeling of superiority.
Weird. Not the best art. The Time Traveller for so it will be convenient to speak of him was expounding a recondite matter to us.
His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated, The fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses.
