The Time Traveller, a dreamer obsessed with traveling through time, builds himself a time machine and, much to his surprise, travels over 800,000 years into the future. He lands in the year 802701: the world has been transformed by a society living in apparent harmony and bliss, but as the Traveler stays in the future he discovers a hidden barbaric and depraved subterranean class. Wells's transparent commentary on the capitalist society was an instant bestseller and launched the time-travel genre.
Si j'ai aimé la lecture de ce livre et le style de Wells j'ai eu plus de mal avec l'aspect science fiction. Les amateurs seront ravis de retrouver l'un des textes fondateurs du genre. Pour les autres je le conseille car il éclaire par sa lecture beaucoup d'aspects d'oeuvres modernes
