《时间机器》是威尔斯的代表作，小说描述一位科学家通过时间旅行机器来到公元802701年的故事。）在当时引发了一场关于时间旅行的社会问题及伦理的大争论。《时间机器》运用了某种近乎恐怖的手法和错综复杂的情节，展示了一个震撼人心的感人故事，描绘了一幅未来世界的可怕图画。时间旅行家是对科学有所藐视的韦尔斯式的英雄（凡尔纳式的英雄比较推崇科学技术），具有极强的能力，却无法改变现实。整个作品给人以某种荒凉的感觉。
《隐身人》描写一个青年物理学家格里芬发明了一种隐身术，而在尔虞我诈的科学界，他不愿公布这一发明，把自己变成了来去无踪的隐身人。天才的发明并没有给这个极端的个人主义者带来任何欢乐，反使他屡糟灾难，以致一步步走向犯罪的深渊，直至变成一个可怕的杀人狂，而不可避免地走向自我毁灭。独特奇异的幻想艺术，丝丝入扣、引人入胜的故事情节，以及蕴含深刻的社会内涵，都足以证明《隐身人》不愧是一部世界科幻小说的经典之作。

The Time Machine and The Invisible Man, by H. G. Wells, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras.

Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.
The Time Machine, H. G. Wells’s first novel, is a tale of Darwinian evolution taken to its extreme. Its hero, a young scientist, travels 800,000 years into the future and discovers a dying earth populated by two strange humanoid species: the brutal Morlocks and the gentle but nearly helpless Eloi.
The Invisible Man mixes chilling terror, suspense, and acute psychological understanding into a tale of an equally adventurous scientist who discovers the formula for invisibility—a secret that drives him mad.
Immensely popular during his lifetime, H. G. Wells, along with Jules Verne, is credited with inventing science fiction. This new volume offers two of Wells’s best-loved and most critically acclaimed “scientific romances.” In each, the author grounds his fantastical imagination in scientific fact and conjecture while lacing his narrative with vibrant action, not merely to tell a “ripping yarn,” but to offer a biting critique on the world around him. “The strength of Mr. Wells,” wrote Arnold Bennett, “lies in the fact that he is not only a scientist, but a most talented student of character, especially quaint character. He will not only ingeniously describe for you a scientific miracle, but he will set down that miracle in the midst of a country village, sketching with excellent humour the inn-landlady, the blacksmith, the chemist’s apprentice, the doctor, and all the other persons whom the miracle affects.”
Alfred Mac Adam teaches literature at Barnard College-Columbia University. He is a translator and art critic.
Editorial Reviews
About the Author
Often called the father of science fiction, British author Herbert George (H. G.) Wells literary works are notable for being some of the first titles of the science fiction genre, and include such famed titles as The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, The Island of Doctor Moreau, and The Invisible Man. Despite being fixedly associated with science fiction, Wells wrote extensively in other genres and on many subjects, including history, society and politics, and was heavily influenced by Darwinism. His first book, Anticipations of the Reaction of Mechanical and Scientific Progress Upon Human Life and Thought, offered predictions about what technology and society would look like in the year 2000, many of which have proven accurate. Wells went on to pen over fifty novels, numerous non-fiction books, and dozens of short stories. His legacy has had an overwhelming influence on science fiction, popular culture, and even on technological and scientific innovation. Wells died in 1946 at the age of 79. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
