by Herbert George Wells (Author)

El Viajero del Tiempo relata a sus amigos su primer viaje en el tiempo. Gracias al invento de una máquina puede viajar hacia el pasado o el futuro con un sencillo movimiento de palanca. El protagonista viaja al año 802701 y contempla un panorama patético, consecuencia de la doctrina evolucionista. Un mundo habitado por dos especies humanoides: los eloi, vegetarianos ociosos, apacibles y simpáticos, desprovistos de inteligencia; y los desalmados y terribles morlocks, habitantes del subsuelo y herederos de las clases sojuzgadas, que de vez en cuando suben a la superficie para devorar a los eloi. Las dos razas, cuyos nombres están tomados del bíblico Eli y Moloch, simbolizan la visión de Wells del resultado final del capitalismo desenfrenado: una clase alta inútil que eventualmente sería devorada por un proletariado conducido a las profundidades.


The Time Traveler tells his friends about his first journey through time. Thanks to the invention of a machine he can travel to the past or the future with a simple movement of the lever. The protagonist travels to the year 802701 and contemplates a pathetic panorama, a consequence of the evolutionary doctrine. A world inhabited by two humanoid species: the Eloi, lazy, gentle and friendly vegetarians, devoid of intelligence; and the heartless and terrible Morlocks, underground dwellers and heirs of the subjugated classes, who occasionally rise to the surface to devour the Eloi. The two races, whose names are taken from the biblical Eli and Moloch, symbolize Wells's vision of the end result of unbridled capitalism: a worthless upper class that would eventually be devoured by a proletariat driven to the depths.
