FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, text block clean, slight toning to end papers, publishers tan cloth, title,author and sphynx stamped on upper board in purple. Spine slightly toned, 8vo, London, William Heinemann, 1895

A seminal work of the science-fiction genre. The Time Machine is generally credited with the popularisation of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel forward or backward through time. The story reflects Wells’ own socialist political views, his view on life and abundance, and the contemporary angst about industrial relations.

It has since been adapted for stage and screen, as well as inspiring numerous works.
