Machine, part of the bestselling Classic Starts® series that has
sold more than 8 million copies! After inventing a time machine,
the Traveler leaves Victorian London and goes far, far into the
future. At first, the world he discovers seems peaceful and

that things are not exactly as they first appeared. . . . This
abridged retelling is the perfect way to introduce young readers to
the imaginative world of science fiction and time travel.
"The Time Machine is a true classic. Originally published in 1895, H.
G. Wells’ short novel of time travel is one of the most beloved works
in all of science fiction. Back when I was a twelve-year-old, I vividly
recall watching the 1960 film with Mom and Dad at the local movie
house. Traveling through time with the turn of the century scientist as
he encounters first the Eloi and then the Morlocks proved to be among
my most powerful childhood experiences.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. "For a time I believed that mankind
had been swept out of existence, and that I stood there alone, the
last man left alive." When a strange, meteor-like object lands in
the heart of England, the inhabitants of Earth find themselves
victims of a terrible attack. A ruthless race of Martians, armed
with heat rays and poisonous smoke, is intent on destroying
everything that stands in its way. As the unnamed hero struggles to
find his way across decimated wastelands, the fate of the planet
hangs in the balance . . . H. G. Wells was a pioneer of modern
science fiction. First serialised in the UK in 1897, The War of the
Worlds is one of the earliest stories to depict conflict with an
extraterrestrial race, and has influenced countless adaptations and
sequels.
