Publisher's Summary
When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year 802,701 AD, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man, he soon realises that this beautiful people are simply remnants of a once-great culture - now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. But they have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity - the sinister Morlocks. And when the scientist's time machine vanishes, it becomes clear he must search these tunnels, if he is ever to return to his own era.

Loved it!
It could have used a few more references to creatures rushing "hither and thither"! No references to creatures going hither and yon! That left me most distressed.

Required reading for a university class. I really enjoyed the narration and the story. The music is also great.

Written in 1895 - held up well
Clear dated attitudes from the time, but suprised how well it has held up. Glad I took a gamble on this novel.

Fin inattendue
Assez particulier pour un livre écrit au 19eme siècle. J'ai bien aimé lorsqu'il décrit son voyage dans le futur vers la fin, j'ai adoré me le représenter dans ma tête et la fin est surprenante. Un bon classique à découvrir.
