Английский с Гербертом Уэллсом. Машина времени; ВКН, 2020

The Time Machine... have you ever dreamed about having it? Have you ever wondered to use it for travelling to the future or the past? I believe that every second one dreamed about it. And me too.
Herbert Wells in his famous fantastic book "The Time Machine" told us about time-travelling, further future and influence of technology to the humanity.
I've just already finished reading the book and consider, that it's absolutely amazing and exciting fantastic story, what I have ever read in English. Really! Eight point of ten to Gryffindor! OK, never mind.
Honestly, my first acquaintance with that story was through the same-named modern movie of 2002. Serteinly, the plot of the film is quite different from its original - I understood it during the reading - but, also not bad.
The book tell us about one scientist, who demonstrated his friends his new invention - the time machine. Desiring to check it the time-traveller went to further future, through billions years and fell into the wonderful world. The humanity devided into two main races: Eloi, living on the Upper-world, and Morlocks, situated Under-world. Each of them passed the different way to its final form and our hero tried to know the secret.
P.S.: below you can see two phrases, what impressed me.
"...the years I had spent in study and toil to get into the future age, and now my passion of anxiety to get out of it"
"It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger and trouble". ("Мы не придаем значения тому закону природы, который гласит, что разносторонность ума является наградой за перемены, опасности и тревоги жизни")
