"The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells (1895)

H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was a prolific author in many diverse domains (novels, short stories, social commentary, history, satire and biography) and a very engaged social commentator and critic. He was nominated four times for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

But he is best remembered today for his pioneering works of science fiction, The Time Machine (1895) , The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898), that established him as one of the founding fathers of the modern science-fiction genre.

The Time Machine, in which the Time Traveler explores the evolution of human society in the distant future — initially in the year 802,701 and then some 30 million years farther on! — inaugurated the time-travel theme in science fiction.
