The Time Machine/The Invisible Man

Me encantaba el diseño pero el material si es muy sencillo y de repente se empezó a filtrar el aguadel vaso y el popote fue lo primero que se rompio

I originally was only going to buy "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells, to revisit this great piece of literature and add it to my collection but when I seen this duo, two great classics in one, I was sold! I've heard of "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells but I had never read it before but from my first time I was really intrigued and at the edge of my seat with the way the story played out. I have these two classics as audio books on my mp3 player but it just didn't feel complete without having the physical copy of the work in my hands.

A timeless classic and one of the literary greats.

I am a great fan of H.G.Wells' work and cannot fault this one at all. It follows the same genre of science fiction as his other works such as The Island of Dr Maurou - which I would also recommend for you to read. The Time Machine is a fiction depicting futuristic prophecy in terms of the use of ideas of the human race advancing in technology. It is ofcourse a dystopian science-fiction, almost bleak, gothic and apocolyptically depressing in some aspects, however, once the gritty stuff is over and done with the book flows more naturally - as you gain an understanding of the sub-text and after you understand Wells' own state of mind and his interest in the art of science. The novel deals with the idea of savages, the non-elitists and the feudal system, this is once again a reference to the period the novel was written in. A time of discovery and travel, and obviously anything/anyone different to the typical English race was regarded as a savage, this is a common theme in The Time Machine. I am not one to give away too much in a review, but this is definately one worth reading. Although, I wouldnt advise it as a bed time read, more like a book to read after you've watched the SCI-FI channel. It is a classic novel and one which the more current science fiction novels regard as setting the standards and conventions of the genre. Here we are talking about breaking away from romanticism, but high-lighting the issues in society in a fictional form and almost criticising the use of technological advances.
