The Time Machine

De: H. G. Wells

Narrado por: Scott Brick

"I drew a breath, set my teeth, gripped the starting lever with both hands, and went off with a thud." The time traveler is on his way to a different world -- his world, but 800,000 years in the future. He returns and recounts his journey to his friends at a dinner party.

In the future, humans called the Eloi live in simple luxury. They have become beautiful but meek, living on their safe, comfortable planet. The generations that have passed without challenge or adversity have dulled their minds. Underground machinery, built millennia ago, feeds and clothes these innocent creatures, and still functions perfectly. But who runs the machinery, and why are the Eloi afraid of the night?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"H.G. Wells's novel The Time Machine is the greatest of all works of pure science fiction." (National Review)

Great classic!

Great classic for all. The ending leaves you wanting more. I wish there was another book.

Classic Sci Fi

Brilliant writing of course, plus great narration by Scott Brick. Strips away the hollywood version (which I also enjoy) with more imagination.

Still captures and entertains.

Having read this many many years ago, it still grabs you. The performance was spectacular and the story never gets old.

Good but strange.

Very good and short but strange and at times hard to follow. Worth the listen

Amazing read

I’ve heard this gentleman read before and he’s the best. Perfect! I’d recommend to everyone.
