H.G. Wells's seminal science fiction novel The Time Machine popularized the concept of time travel.
It is a story of a scientist who invents a time machine and travels forward into the future. In writing the novel, Wells created an entirely new kind of narrative.
Thousands of years in the future, the Time Traveler finds that humanity has diverged into two species, which form an overclass, the Eloi and an underclass, the Morlocks. One Eloi, Weena, shows the Traveler tenderness, imploring him to again jump into the future, never to return.
English writer H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine was first published in 1895. Unbound to traditional conceptions of time, the story is able to examine the long-term consequences of human behavior. This dystopic prediction was the germ of a genre that persists today, preoccupied with the fascinating and often terrifying prospects that our descendants may face.
The book contains many powerful themes, such as class struggle, love and intelligence, and time travel. Important symbols include flowers representing tenderness between individuals. The Eloi represent elitism and the loss of intelligence and the Morlocks represent oppression and dependency.

the music made the whole thing WAY better
What made this video really good is the delivery and enthusiasm of the speaker. He displays a genuine interest in a classic work of science fiction and literature that more people should know about.
The book really ended in a cliff hanger like that 😭 I can't get enough of this book...
Very well made. The best vide on this classic I have watched!
Great content, empowered visually. I finished the book and come here. Hitherto this video is the most comprehensive one! Keep up the good work :)
Amazing what a pleasure to watch this. Kudos to you!
THIS DOESNT HELP AT ALL WITH TRYING TO DISECT THE LAST EPISODE OF BCS

This was really helpful thank you so much :)
For some reason I imagined the Morlocks as a small slimy pale humanoids with big/ish nocturnal eyes

becuase they were described in such a way and most overlook this. both species were extremely small. remember he had to crawl in the tunnel that they walked in down the well, and weena was so small that she was likely the size of a 2 year old as he threw her and carried her around without any kind of difficulty even when being chased

Your deduction of the valuable small parts adorning the wider section of this story has given hope to what need to be found in my further disection of man, and art being one being. Thanks for this knowledge so freely given sir.
Thanks a lot!!!!

Interesting. A multitude of time leaps are in mind with a multitude of a single woman I wish to see, and talk with. To know her world. Apathic.
In the end, the Time Traveler chooses to go into the past, having already seen the future. There he discovers the same thing: That the future cannot survive as well as the past and so he does not survive the past.
He made a tiny model ... James wimshurst... The machine looked like a clock ... His disk went onto h g Welles time machine.
this vid is incredibly amazing
All right guys, we know why y'all are here

Epcot works ... it generates lots of energy...
I got the Wells machine generating energy... So what’s your problem?
the story of the time machine is formed by a dinner party. Why might Wells have chosen a dinner party as a framing device for his story)? Please help)))

in such a time conversation often started at the dinner table but it was not really set at dinner it was set in a adjacent building for smoking and chatting,
If it’s all lies ... But the machine functions... With a few modifications... The disk is the energy creator... The time machine is perpetual energy for no electricity flows ... The time machine doesn’t run on nuclear energy ... too dangerous. The engine is a generator. The engine is perpetual energy. It’s a battery that never dies . It’s an engine of pure energy. No liquids or oils needed . Storage cells are added to “ store and contain energy for and build up energy “.. I reversed the fly wheel. I rewound it . Used a better winding . I generate the energy via the fly wheel, that is focused through and into the engine block .. Inside the engine block I added Tesla manifolds, specifically designed to replace spark plugs with static generators ... I needed a spark plug to generate its own power .. Everything is self generated perpetual energies ... I control with a harmonic resonator.. My engine design is based upon h g Welles and James wimshurst... 1883 and 1885 ....back to the future .
A time machine, would explain Disney... A time machine that began with James wimshurst and ends with H g Welles ...
THE TIME MACHINE IS A GOOD NOVEL.
H.G. WELLS IS A EXQUISITE AUTHOR.
