The machine The Time (Paperback)

Customer Review

It was time.
How many times have we had the opportunity to meet, through so many stories, explore this famous machine (often called "bump" wrongly) time? How many authors have made it an ideal instrument for building attractive scenarios science fiction, at will?
It was time to return to the origins, to the brilliant designer of this idea, HG Wells, whom I have had the opportunity to enjoy other pleasures, who is also the inventor of The Invisible Man or the coveted War of the Worlds, repeated several times to the cinema.

And what strikes here, I seem, is the quality of the writing, which manages to captivate you and give you the desire to read it all in one. If not possible, the time we would like to stop to have the necessary time in order to avoid that one is obliged to tear yourself the volume of the hands to return to the real world.
In other words, as saying that the book has little aged. I really was afraid that this is the case, which was also delayed my idea to go into action and finally read this famous novel.
But the author was wise enough to create all the necessary conditions so that history remains credible and somehow ... timeless.

As the designer of the machine moves there nothing less than the year ... 802 701 !!!
I will say no more so as not to deprive the pleasure of discovery, but the approach is smart and unexpected.
I never tried to imagine such a time horizon. This is simply amazing and it makes damn dizzy to imagine such a time perspective.
At this scale, nothing can quite be like today. At the same time, one wonders what can still be.
The idea is excellent; and probably it possible to put an end to any challenge or risk to both an anachronism and premature aging.

Only regret: it's too short. We would have liked still wander through time and explore new eras. But perhaps this is also where the author was strong. And it has opened so many opportunities to others ...
But anyway, do not deprive yourself of this reading. From my point of view, it is very successful.
