Unique Elements
Two of Wells’s best-loved science fiction novels
The Time Machine , H. G. Wells ’s first novel, was published in 1895. It is a tale of Darwinian evolution taken to its extreme. Its protagonist, a young scientist, travels 800,000 years into the future and discovers a dying earth inhabited by two bizarre humanoid the brutal Morlocks and the kind but nearly helpless Eloi.
The Invisible Man, first published in 1897 , tells the story of an adventurous scientist discovering the formula for invisibility—a secret that drives him mad. It combines chilling terror, suspense, and acute psychological insight.
