By H.G. Wells
Paperback
148 pages
I had never actually read this before! Which I didn't really realize until I opened the book.
None of the characters have actual names, but are referred to as things such as "The Time Traveller" and "The Psychologist."
The setting is Victorian England - what a perfect excuse for a steam punk party - and nominally all in the Time Traveller's house. He returns in the middle of a dinner party and regales the company with the tale of his adventures through time.
He sees the decay of civilization and the fall of man.
It's a very readable book, but for some reason I expected more from it. I did enjoy it - and it's such a pretty edition!
