About the Author:
Herbert George (H. G.) Wells (1866-1946) was a popular British author and an influential socialist intellectual. He invented many of the obsessional tropes of the sci-fi genre, from The Time Machine to contact with hostile aliens (in The War of the Worlds), to suspended animation, and sapient animals. In almost all of these cases, he creates at once a satirical comment on some trend in contemporary society--class division, imperialism and so on.
From AudioFile:
This inspired adaptation of H.G. Wells's science fiction classic introduces us to Wells, the person, who watches for fires from BBC's headquarters during the Blitz. While on watch, he retells a story that was once told to him of a time traveler who jumps ahead many millennia to discover two split descendants of the human species: the pacifist, pleasure-loving Eloi and the brutal, underground-dwelling Morlocks. All of the splendor you expect from a BBC radio drama is here--lush soundscapes, a fantastic score, and a talented cast. The bones of Wells's classic remain intact, and the story remains sure-footed more than 100 years after its publication. Wells enthusiasts and new listeners alike will be well served by this elegant and adventurous production. F.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
