The Time Traveller steps into his machine to embark upon an astonishing journey beyond the frontiers of time, space and the human imagination. When he emerges, he finds himself in the year 802, 7000, observing a utopian age in which creatures coexist in peace and harmony. He plans to study this society and return to his own time to implement its secrets-until he discovers that his machine, his only means of transport back to his own life, has been stolen! This remarkable piece of science fiction, published in 1895, won immediate recognition for H. G. Wells and has been called a masterpiece of the genre.

      This inspired adaptation of H.G. Wells's science fiction classic introduces us to Wells, the person, who watches for fires from BBC's headquarters during the Blitz. While on watch, he retells a story that was once told to him of a time traveler who jumps ahead many millennia to discover two split descendants of the human species: the pacifist, pleasure-loving Eloi and the brutal, underground-dwelling Morlocks. All of the splendor you expect from a BBC radio drama is here--lush soundscapes, a fantastic score, and a talented cast. The bones of Wells's classic remain intact, and the story remains sure-footed more than 100 years after its publication. Wells enthusiasts and new listeners alike will be well served by this elegant and adventurous production. F.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
