EVERGREENS THE TIME MACHINE - H G WELLS KARTO...

A Victorian scientist and inventor creates a machine for propelling himself through time  and
voyages to the year AD 802701  where he discovers a race of humanoids called the Eloi. Their
gently indolent way of life  set in a decaying cityscape  leads the scientist to believe that
they are the remnants of a once great civilization. He is forced to revise this assessment when
he comes across the cave dwellings of threatening ape-like creatures known as Morlocks  whose
dark underground world he must explore to discover the terrible secrets of this fractured
society  and the means of getting back to his own time. A biting critique of class and social
equality as well as an innovative and much imitated piece of science fiction which introduced
the idea of time travel into the popular consciousness  The Time Machine is a profound and
extraordinarily prescient novel.
