The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (1866-1946)
Surely the Time Traveler threw great dinner parties! His guests were treated to a once-in-forever trial of a miniature time machine - an exquisite miniature that acted so flawlessly as to appear to be stage magic. That his guests did not believe the explanation - the machine vanished into the mists of the future - was patent. Still, a couple of the more thoughtful had reservations about branding the demonstration an outright trickery. And what about the nearly-complete full-size Machine in the Traveler's laboratory?
Confronted at the next party by the disheveled Traveler, who had apparently suffered privations and who displayed two curious flowers of no known type, the Narrator's wonderment increased. For the Traveler provided a perfectly arresting story to explain his condition - a surprising tale of a far future where humankind divides into a carefree above-ground race, the Eloi, and a mechanical subterranean race, the Morlocks. A tale in which it appears that the inheritors of the Earth inhabit it as cattle for the feeding of their underground cousins!
Believe, or disbelieve? But perhaps the inventive genius of a man who can translate "thousands of millions of days" of time travel into an exact date should not be doubted! (Intro by Mark F. Smith)

Thank you for this audio story, great narrative tone and voice. Don't stop at any point in time if this is your desire. Which is awesome thank you kindly.
Thank you to this audiobook I don't know what I would do without it
I'm studying this in my class and cuz of lockdown everything's online so hard for me to read on screen. So I so glad the audiobooks has the text too as well as the audio. Helps me digest the information more.
One of my favorite H.G. Wells remarkable stories.
excellent. thank you very much.
finaly not librevox
very well read - really enjoyed it
The movie was excellent, never had time to read this, when I have time to devote my attention I'll play this in the background. I've heard some of it while working but it's easy to become distracted...this is about the same as reading, you need to picture what is going on.
Thanx for the post. 1;56
Into the first 16 minutes where he's talking about moving mountains and the belief to do it sounds like Star Wars. The scene Yoda lifting the X-Wing with the force showing Luke it is possible. Luke said it's too big! Yoda wanted the impossible. Luke didn't belief it. That's why Luke failed. Size matters not. Do or do not. There is no try! So the philosophy sounds familiar!!!
Interesting.. a engine that looks like a watch ...

Chapter 2
21:30
The Time Traveler describes him at the beginning as a "very young man" = 9:54
after his time travelling he says: "I am not a young man" :-D = 1:17:22
did he get older during his time travelling? :-D
he stops the machine at the year 802.000....
If he needed one minute for one year as he says,
so he must have been seated on the machine for 556 Days. :-D
without eating and drinking.
Then he comes back to his own time again. So he needed again 556 days
He says he only spent 8 relative days on traveling through time so I suppose this is a more metaphorical point then a littoral aging. He started his journey filled with lofty and impractical ideals about future man and its conquests over nature and struggle but was met with the harsh realization about the interminable hardness and struggle of the world and how attempts at utopia had changed mankind for the worse. In a philosophical sense he grew up very rapidly in the 8 days he spent traveling through time.

I cringe every time I hear or read Queer in this book
A good story murdered by an American's inability to read. It sounds yet again like an adult's reading practice.
How is this guy smart enough to build a time machine, but he can't start a fire without matches? Or find a way to make a torch? Sorry H.G....the Time-traveler is kind of dumb.
This actually seemed reasonable to me especially given what we know about how intellectual sophistication can result in larger cognitive “blind spots.” Essentially some people are so advanced in one field they develop a type of intellectual tunnel vision that might not exist had they put their work into more commonplace and practical endeavors. I’m reminded about an episode of “Bar Rescue” I saw once where two theoretical physicists had tried their hands at owning and managing a bar thinking that it would be an easy pedestrian way to make some supplemental income. What ended up happening was they overthought every decision and completely mismanaged the place.
It makes sense to me that the time traveler, who came from an age in which man did wield enough power to eek out a comfortable life outside nature’s brutality for that the more existentially minded like himself, that he lacked some more basic survival skills. It actually works kinda well thematically as our hero seems to occupy the place of intermediary stage between the savagery of the morlocks and gentle decadence of the eloi.
Don't care for the narrator. Voice is flat.
go away troll
voice is velvet
Well that kinda fits the general tone of Well’s early speculative fiction in which his protagonists are foreign observers to the world’s in which the conflicts take place. In this case the conflict of most of the story is between that between the Eloi and Morlocks. The time traveler is just a tourist in their world.
