The Time Machine

Plot

The Time Machine, despite certain obivious faults of imagination and style, is a brilliant fantasy; and it affords a valuable picture of the young wells looking at the world, with his normal eyes, and finding it, more particularly, incomplete. At the age of twenty seven or so, he has freed himself very completely from the bonds of conventional thought, and is prepared to examine, and to present life from the detached sandpoint of one who views it all from a respectable distance; but who is able, nevertheless - an essential qualification - to enter life with all passion and generosity of his own humanity.
