“In a moment I was clutched by several hands, and there was no mistaking that they were trying to haul me back . . . You can scarce imagine how nauseatingly inhuman they looked – those pale chinless faces and great, lidless, pinkish-grey eyes!”

An English scientist recounts to his guests the story of his travels to the year 802,701, where he discovers that the human race has evolved into two distinct societies. The Eloi, graceful and peaceful but spiritless, are terrorized by the dark Morlocks, who live underground, surrounded by industry. And when his time machine mysteriously disappears, the scientist is forced to descend into the realm of the Morlocks to find his only hope of escape . . .

H. G. Wells is considered one of the founders of modern science fiction, defining the term 'time machine' and popularizing the idea of time travel in literature.
