THE TIME MACHINE by H.G. Wells - FULL AudioBook | Greatest AudioBooks V4
H.G. Wells' 1895 novella The Time Machine is considered a pioneer in the concept of time travel using a vehicle. Though, the idea of traveling backwards in time through a clock was previously explored in 1881's The Clock That Went Backward by Edward Page Mitchell. The term "time machine" coined by Wells is now widely used. The story falls under the Dying Earth subgenre. It has been adapted into multiple films, TV shows, and comic book versions and has also influenced other works of fiction. ๐๐๐ง๐ https://GreatestAudioBooks.co ๐ S H O P great books & gifts: https://www.amazon.com/shop/GreatestAudioBooks ๐ T w i t t e r : https://www.twitter.com/GAudioBooks ๐ฒKojiโบ https://koji.to/GreatestAudioBooks ๐ง 30 day Audible audiobooks trialโบhttps://amzn.to/2Iu08SE ๐๐ฉ๐ฟโ๐ More vids on O d y s e e : https://odysee.com/$/invite/@GreatestAudioBooks:c ๐ง Audiobooks .com ๐ง 30 day trialโบhttps://tinyurl.com/2x6ac4ff - READ along by clicking (CC) for Closed Caption Transcript! - LISTEN to the entire audiobook for free!

His grey eyes shone and twinkled, and his usually pale face was flushed and animated. The fire burned brightly, and the soft radiance of the incandescent lights in the lilies of silver caught the bubbles that flashed and passed in our glasses. Our chairs, being his patents, embraced and caressed us rather than submitted to be sat upon, and there was that luxurious after-dinner atmosphere when thought roams gracefully free of the trammels of precision. And he put it to us in this way--marking the points with a lean forefinger--as we sat and lazily admired his earnestness over this new paradox (as we thought it) and his fecundity. 'You must follow me carefully. I shall have to controvert one or two ideas that are almost universally accepted. The geometry, for instance, they taught you at school is founded on a misconception.' 'Is not that rather a large thing to expect us to begin upon?' said Filby, an argumentative person with red hair. 'I do not mean to ask you to accept anything without reasonable ground for it. You will soon admit as much as I need from you. You know of course that a mathematical line, a line of thickness _nil_, has no real existence. They taught you that? Neither has a mathematical plane. These things are mere abstractions.' 'That is all right,' said the Psychologist. 'Nor, having only length, breadth, and thickness, can a cube have a real existence.' 'There I object,' said Filby. 'Of course a solid body may exist. All real things--' 'So most people think. But wait a moment. Can an _instantaneous_ cube exist?' 'Don't follow you,' said Filby. 'Can a cube that does not last for any time at all, have a real existence?'...CONTINUED... #audiobook #audiobooks #freeaudiobooks #greatestaudiobooks #book #books #TheTimeMachine #HGWELLS #ScienceFiction #literature #timetravel ๐๐ง๐ v4 This video: Copyright 2014.
