Overview

The Time Machine.

Published in 1895, The Time Machine is a masterpiece of science fiction. The protagonist (the Time Traveler) finds himself in the year 802,701 AD where there are two opposing races: the Eloi and the Morlocks. Their social organization is a dystopia: the lazy Eloi live on the surface of the planet, enjoying the sun, whereas the Morlocks live below the ground and keep on working in order to feed the Eloi. But who are the real masters? The ones who work or the ones who don't... but are devoured by the others?


Journey to Empycrist II.

In the immensity of the universe, there is the Earth: a blue crystal turning black. In the vastness of the Creation, there is Empycrist II: the illusion of Paradise on Earth. Between them, man, this strange creature, is about to destroy the first, what compels him to go to the second in order to survive. Five brilliant scientists go to this planet and, at the same time, understand, through a journey into their own human nature, that the survival of mankind is not a problem of geography. If madness leads to barbarity, reason leads to humanity. Reaching a higher level of consciousness, they discover the aim of the universe and the role of man in the Creation. Reader, follow them to Empycrist: you will see you in the mirror of truth...

About the Author

H. G. Wells was one of the most important and productive writers of the 20th century. He began his writing career in the short story form, but he gained literary fame with The Time Machine, the first of his scientific romances (which also include The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, The Invisible Man, and The First Men in the Moon). He continued to write fantastic fiction throughout his career, with a particular focus on utopian fiction in the early 20th century. He also wrote a number of realist novels.
