H.G.威尔斯，英国著名小说家，被誉为“科幻小说界的莎士比亚”，多种科幻题材的开山鼻祖，开创了“时间旅行”“外星人入侵”“反乌托邦”等现代科幻小说的主流话题；先后四次获得诺贝尔文学奖提名。

《时间机器》是令威尔斯声誉鹊起的处女作，也是其杰出代表作之一。通过《时间机器》，威尔斯表达了对人类终极处境的关怀，拨动了亿万颗不安的心灵。人类自诞生之日起就感叹生命的短暂，然而威尔斯竟设想出一架能自由穿梭于时空中的机器，而且从理论到实践均构思得天衣无缝，只要人类还为时空的局限所困，《时间机器》的魅力将永不消减。
1897年发表的《隐身人》亦是威尔斯流传深远、广受欢迎的作品。《隐身人》将视角转向了科学技术本身，向读者展现了科技无限发展后潜在的负面效应。威尔斯警示人们科学是把双刃剑，既可造福人类，又能招致灭顶之灾，在物欲横流的社会，科学发明一旦落入自私者之手，后果将不堪设想。
Immensely popular during his lifetime, H. G. Wells, along with Jules Verne, is credited with inventing science fiction. This new volume offers two of Wells’s best-loved and most critically acclaimed “scientific romances.”
The Time Machine, H. G. Wells’s first novel, is a tale of Darwinian evolution taken to its extreme. Its hero, a young scientist, travels 800,000 years into the future and discovers a dying earth populated by two strange humanoid species: the brutal Morlocks and the gentle but nearly helpless Eloi. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.
The Invisible Man mixes chilling terror, suspense, and acute psychological understanding into a tale of an equally adventurous scientist who discovers the formula for invisibility—a secret that drives him mad. The Invisible Man has been adapted into films and TV series, stage play and audio drama.
