21. September 1866 – 13. August 1946

Herbert George Wells (meist abgekürzt H. G. Wells; * 21. September 1866 in Bromley (heute zu London); † 13. August 1946 in London) war ein englischer Schriftsteller und Pionier der Science-Fiction-Literatur. Wells, der auch Biologe, Historiker und Soziologe war, schrieb u. a. Bücher mit Millionenauflage wie Die Geschichte unserer Welt. Er hatte seine größten Erfolge mit den beiden Science-Fiction-Romanen (von ihm selbst als „scientific romances“ bezeichnet) Der Krieg der Welten und Die Zeitmaschine. Wells ist in Deutschland vor allem für seine Science-Fiction-Bücher bekannt, hat aber auch zahlreiche realistische Romane verfasst, die im englischen Sprachraum nach wie vor populär sind.

Der Zeitreisende findet heraus, dass die Morlocks die Eloi kontrollieren und sogar fressen. Am Ende kämpft der Zeitreisende gegen die Morlocks, um zu seiner Zeitmaschine zurückzukehren. Er schafft es und kehrt in seine eigene Zeit zurück. Dort erzählt er seinen Freunden von seinen Abenteuern, aber sie glauben ihm nicht.
