Download or read book The Time Machine illustrated written by H. G. Wells and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2022-06-22 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Time Machine by H. G. Wells is a science fiction classic, which lends itself well to visualization. This version, illustrated by Yoann Laurent-Rouault, an illustrator master who graduated from the Beaux-Arts, and published in the international literary collection Memoria Books, is a reference on the time travel theme. Wells transports us in the year 802 701, in a society made up of the “Elois”, who live peacefully in a kind of big Garden of Eden, eating fruits and sleeping high up, while underground lives another species, also descending from men, the “Morlocks”, who do not stand the light anymore, living in the dark for too long now. At night, they return to the surface, going back up by the wells, in order to kidnap some Elois that they eat ; these last became livestock unknowingly. In The Time Machine, made into a movie several times, the last of them in 2002 by Simon Wells, the great-grandson of H. G. Wells, time is both a pretext to move the class struggle and warn... and also, in a way, a full character, who fascinates, arbitrates, transcends... The illustrations come to reinforce the time travel and provide a new experience to the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary of this story. Once upon a time there was a Goblin named Grump, Grump was a knotty young Goblin he loves to lived in the woods. He got into a time machine one day, which let him travel through time and learn about many different times and cultures. Grump spent the next few weeks and months going to ancient Egypt, King Arthur's court, fighting dragons, and even the far future to find out what the world had in store for it. Grump's many experiences taught him a lot about the world and the people who live in it. He found that, no matter how different people seem at first glance, they all have the same basic humanity and the desire to explore and find new things. Grump got homesick as he kept looking around. He wanted to go back to the bush, where he belonged. Grump still liked to explore and find new things when he got home, but he did so with a deeper respect for the familiar sights and sounds of his home surroundings. He also started making people laugh and smile with his wit and creativity. Grump found a group of lost tourists one day in the woods. He offered to walk with them through the forest and help them find their way home using his great sense of direction and knowledge of the area. When the travelers got where they were going, they were so thankful for Grump's help and kindness that they had tears in their eyes. After that day, Grump was known as a friend to everyone who crossed his way. Grump slowed down as he got older, but others were still inspired by his stories and experiences. When it was time for Grump to leave this world and go on his final journey, he smiled because he knew he had lived a full and exciting life. Grump's impact lives on through the stories and memories he left behind, which have inspired generations of animals and people to explore the world, help others, and do good things. This is how the story starts: Grump, a curious and naughty gnome, used to live in a faraway place. Grump was always up to something bad. He would sneak around and make trouble wherever he went. He loved to mess with the locals and cause trouble wherever he could. Grump the Goblin was famous for causing trouble wherever he went. He loved to cause trouble. He was known all over the country as a bad boy who was always getting into trouble. Grump was always looking for new ways to make trouble, like going into people's homes and rearranging their furniture or putting frogs in their beds. Even though he was known as a troublemaker, many people loved Grump. His cheeky attitude was a constant reminder that life was meant to be lived and enjoyed, and his funny tricks and contagious laugh made everyone around him happy. On the other hand, Grump's cheerful attitude was not liked by everyone. Some people got tired of his pranks and started to try to get him kicked out of town. But Grump didn't care about how mean they were. Even though people got tired of him, he kept pulling pranks and making trouble. Things in Grump's life didn't start to change until he found the time machine. With this computer, he was able to travel to other worlds and meet new people. This helped him learn more about the world around him and how his actions affected other people. As Grump went from place to place, he began to see how wrong he had been. He knew that his tricks and trouble had hurt a lot of people, and he felt very bad about it. At that point, Grump decided to change his life. Instead of making trouble and causing damage, he started to use his sense of fun and creativity to make everyone around him happy and laugh. Grump slowly showed the people around him a different side. They didn't think of him as a pest who needed to be kicked out of town. Instead, they saw him as a friend and partner. Grump's wicked nature was turned into a force for good in the end. Grump the Goblin was a curious creature who liked to go on adventures and learn new things. He was always looking for new things to do, and he never feared going wherever his interest led him. Grump was wandering through the forest one day when he found a strange tool hidden in the woods. He had never seen anything like it, with strange knobs and buttons and a screen that flashed. Grump was eager to figure out how the machine worked, so he started messing with it right away. As he turned the knobs and pushed the buttons, the machine started to hum and spin, and a bright light surrounded him. When the light went out, Grump found himself in a strange new world that was different from anything he had ever seen before. There were tall buildings and strange machines in the air. Grump was excited and interested as he got ready to go discover this new place. Grump has never seen a device like this one. It had strange buttons and dials all over it, and a bright screen lit up its surface. Grump was eager to figure out how the machine worked, so he started messing with it right away. Unexpectedly, the machine started to hum and spin, and a bright light filled the room. When the light went out, Grump found himself in a strange new world that was different from anything he had ever seen before. He looked around in amazement as he took in the sights and sounds of this new place. There were tall buildings and strange things flying around in the air. Grump was amazed and excited because he had never seen anything like that before. Grump soon found out that while he was exploring this new world, he had found a way to go back in time. He could use this device to go back in time and learn about many different times and cultures. In the weeks and months that followed, Grump spent his days traveling to the past and the future. He learned about other cultures and nations and met lots of interesting creatures along the way. He went to ancient Egypt to see how the pyramids were built. He also went to King Arthur's court to fight dragons and to the far future to see what the world would be like then. Grump's many experiences taught him a lot about the world and the people who live in it. He found that, no matter how different we look on the outside, we all have the same basic needs and want to explore and find new things. But as time went on, Grump started to miss his old house. He missed the familiar sights and sounds of the forest, where he belonged. Grump got back in the time machine and set the knobs so that he could go back to his own time and place. As he hurtled through time and space, he felt himself getting more and more excited and energized. When Grump finally got back to his own time and place, he felt a wave of happiness and relief wash over him. He had been all over the world and seen things that were beyond his wildest dreams, but in the end, there was no place like home. Grump's story tells us that the world is full of wonder and adventure, and that there is always something new to find if we keep an open mind and a sense of adventure. In this world, there is always something new to learn and try, like going to a new place or doing something new.
