The Time Machine is one of the two most famous works by the English writer Herbert George Wells (the other is the all too familiar War of the Worlds). These two works at that time I was addicted to for a long time. And one of the things that interested me most was the wonder of time travel: it also sparked a great debate about the social and ethical issues of time travel. The story is equally engrossing, full of thrills and suspense. "The Time Machine" uses a certain borderline horror approach and a convoluted plot to present a powerfully moving story and paint a frightening picture of the world to come. The time traveler is a Wellesian hero who disdains science (Verne heroes are more technical heroes) and has great powers but cannot change reality. The whole work gives a certain sense of desolation. What is most interesting about this story is the wonder of time travel: it also sparked a huge social and ethical debate about time travel at the time
