The name of my book is The Time Machine This book is written by H. G. Wells and this book was published in 1895. You can read this book if you want. I hope you will like today's post.
Book Story
There is a scientist, whose name is Time Traveler, who aims at making his dream of time travel come true by assembling a time machine. One day he invites his friends to the drawing room and makes an announcement to them about his invention. The friends do not believe. He demonstrates them a small model which vanishes away in a moment. The following week the very same Time Traveler himself sits in the actual machine and starts his adventure into the future. Time goes by in a horifying pace and he arrives somewhere around 802,701 AD. This is where the human race has been separated into two species. There are Elves, who are small, gorgeous, jolly and too silly. During the day they play in the sun, and eat fruit, and there is no other work. The lazy life is what the Time Traveler feels that the human development has come to. The secret, however, comes out fast. There is still another species which dwells in the underground, and it is the Morlocks. They appear like big giants, and emerge in the darkness. They fatten these Elves as meat! The time traveler understands that the civilization has been separated - the upper-level can be enslaved to the lower one and eventually victimize.
One day the time machine disappears. It is concealed by the Morlocks in a pillar of bronze. After dispatching the machine, he goes to the Morlock cave, fearlessly. He constantly encounters horror and threat in the dark tunnels. There he observes a great number of Morlocks that attempt to attack him. Thus he befriends Wina who is a young girl Eloi. He understands that the Eloi are so weak now that they do not understand how to fight. One night Wina is seized by the Morlocks. The Time Traveler all tries to save her and he loses Wina. At last, however, he can come back to the machine after numerous attempts and fights. Then as the Morlocks achieve a gird around him, he suddenly switches the machine on again and embarks on another journey through time. In this case he goes further ahead. The whole world is a dying planet, the red sun is gradually fading, the sea is being dried out. Weird monsters only remain.
My Explanation
The Time Machine is not simply a science fiction, it is a masterpiece of an impossible novel which contains profound philosophical ideas concerning the future of the human civilization. By the time this book was written (back in 1895) by H.G. Wells, time travel could only be found in fairy tales. With the help of this book, he introduced such an idea as time traveling on scientific foundations and turned into a father of modern science fiction. The novel is not only a chronicle of scientific expedition, but there is a sociological satire concealed behind it. The writer also demonstrates how economical and social barriers can grow deeper in the course of time. The Elves being the descendants of the ancient elite have turned so soft and helpless to resist, even though they are their descendants.
Conversely the working-class Morlocks have grown powerful with time and asserted control over them. The twisted version of the human civilization is exposed through this contrast. The vocabulary of the novel is not complicated, the description is clear. The reader can clearly sense the fear, the surprise and the despair of the time traveler. The reader is particularly moved by transience of human beings especially when he views the dying earth against the setting sun of future. The author has developed the mixture of science and fantasy that even a reader of 19 th century could not have found before.
Upon reading The Time Machine, a reader has gained the know-how that it is not only technological advances that matter, but also advances of people and morality. Otherwise, there is the collapse of civilization and man himself is food. It is a story about a naked, hurting future horizon which is also applicable in the present times.
That's it for today!I appreciate your time and attention. At the end of this post, you can comment and let me know how you liked my post and if you have any questions, I will try to answer them inshaAllah. I hope you like it. See you soon..

I like how you talked about The Time Machine. It’s crazy how Wells showed rich and poor people even in the future. This story still feels real today.
Thank you for your opinion 😊
