Ho adorato lo stile di scrittura di Wells: riesce a spiegare concetti complicati in parole semplici. Anche una persona come me, un po' riluttante ad appassionarsi alle materie scientifiche, è rimasta colpita dalle teorie azzardate in '' La macchina del tempo" e dalla mentalità sadica dimostrata dai personaggi di "L'Isola del dottor Moreau''. Entrambi i racconti sono veramente avvincenti e mi hanno fatto venire voglia di leggere altre opere di questo autore.

Classics become classics for a reason!
I enjoyed this story immensely. As I approached the ending, I felt a strong sense of Ying/Yang; the idea that light does not exist without the comparison of the dark.

Too much fantasy with a disappointing ending

2024 52 Book Club Challenge #28:
A yellow spine

The edition I read was the SF Masterworks hardcover which has a yellow spine.

A classic story. Such imagination for a story written in 1895.

This book had an excellent use of imagery. You could practically see what the Time Traveler character was seeing. What he went through in full detail. To understand the concepts he came up with whilst on his adventures. It also sends the other characters message of mystery and belief, or rather disbelief, to the reader plainly.
