The time machine wells5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() the Time Traveller wandering, accompanied by the elfin Weena, through the ruins of a vast abandoned Natural History Museum.the horror of the underground world inhabited by the filthy, white ape-like Morlocks.VividĪnd nobody who’s read it can forget the tremendous scenes he conjures up – Given that the Pan paperback text starts on page seven, it’s gone from nothing to details of his time travelling adventures in twelve swift pages. We are plunged straight into a discussion of the theory of time before, a few pages later, he shows them a small time machine (p.13), before then (p.16) exhibiting the nearly completed full-size machine itself, and then – a mere week, and three pages, later (p.19), his friends, assembled for the usual Thursday evening dinner, gasp as he staggers dramatically through the door, and tells the assembled guests his extraordinary story. Not only is it short, but it moves at a cracking pace, the opening words introducing us to the (anonymous) Time Traveller in conversation with his dinner guests. It takes as long to read as the average movie to watch. It gets in, makes its sensational statement, and is all over while you’re still reeling. Shortīarely 90 pages in the Pan paperback version, at 33,000 words The Time Machine is comparable in length and ‘grip’ to the first Sherlock Holmes novels or The Strange Case of Dr. Why is this, Wells’s first novella, such a classic? At least in part because it is short, pacy and vivid. ![]()

The chosen and the beautiful nghi vo5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Leave it to Tor.com to bring us this unusual, magical and gorgeously written story, based on the famous classic, The Great Gatsby. It was real, and I doubted more than one or two had ever been printed. It felt heavy in my hand with all the weight of an imperial summons. It was good paper, deep red as if dipped in blood, with gold lettering sunk into the card stock. ![]() He drew the invitation from his jacket, and I turned it over in my hands. The nitty-gritty: A strange and magical reimagining of The Great Gatsby, The Chosen and the Beautiful is full of spellbinding imagery and glorious prose. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
