The Time Machine

Written by H. G. Wells

Narrated by John Banks

When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year 802,701 AD, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment and peace. Entranced at first by the Eloi, an elfin species descended from man, he soon realises that this beautiful people are simply remnants of a once-great culture – now weak and childishly afraid of the dark. But they have every reason to be afraid: in deep tunnels beneath their paradise lurks another race descended from humanity – the sinister Morlocks. And when the scientist’s time machine vanishes, it becomes clear he must search these tunnels, if he is ever to return to his own era.

Reviews for The Time Machine

[Kirk Wydner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent performance by the narrator. Really brought this timeless classic (no pun intended) to life.
