H. G. Wells’ classic science fiction masterpiece The Time Machine explores human nature. The Time Traveler finds himself in 802,701 A.D., where he meets the peaceful Eloi and encounters the violent Morlocks. Wells uses these two descendants of man to explore evil and its causes, drawing conclusions that might surprise you in this riveting tale that has stood the test of time. This Rediscovered Books edition includes the deleted portion of chapter eleven that ran in the original serialization, but was removed by Wells for book publication; it runs after the story as The Grey Man. In addition to The Grey Man, this edition also contains the full text of The Chronic Argonauts: Wells’ first time travel story, which he borrows liberally from for The Time Machine.
