時間機器

內容簡介

內容簡介 西元八十萬二千七百零一年，距現代非常遙遠的未來世界，故事的主角時間旅行者乘坐自已所發明的時間機器，自由地穿梭在未來和過去之間，看到了各種奇怪的現象……未來的世界竟是一片荒蕪、死寂、殘破，僅存居住在地面上的埃洛依人—美麗但毫無用處的生物和居住在地底下的魔洛克人—以捕殺動物為樂的獵人，而這人種對立的關係竟是人類自己所造成的。威爾斯的創作不僅僅只是有他豐富的想像，還帶有一點警世的意味存在他的作品中。如果生活太過安逸，顯然並非好事，而我們所生存的自然世界並不會因為人類生活的安定而維持平靜的狀態，山崩、地震、海嘯等各種自然災害依然存在著，所以，身為人類的我們免不了要應付各式各樣的環境需求，甚至於危險的考驗，否則一定會在這安逸的世界中退化本書介出自棉花田出版社出版《時間機器》A Victorian scientist and inventor creates a machine for propelling himself through time, and voyages to the year AD 802701, where he discovers a race of humanoids called the Eloi. Their gently indolent way of life, set in a decaying cityscape, leads the scientist to believe that they are the remnants of a once great civilization. He is forced to revise this assessment when he comes across the cave dwellings of threatening ape-like creatures known as Morlocks, whose dark underground world he must explore to discover the terrible secrets of this fractured society, and the means of getting back to his own time.A biting critique of class and social equality as well as an innovative and much imitated piece of science fiction which introduced the idea of time travel into the popular consciousness, The Time Machine is a profound and extraordinarily prescient novel.
