The Time Machine and Other Stories
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1946.
The Time Machine is the great, gleeful anarchist novel of the 1890s. It is both a thrilling adventure story and a satire on religion, evolution and human hopes. With this book, Wells invented an entirely new genre and did it better than any of his imitators. An immediate bestseller, it has delighted and unnerved generations of readers, and will no doubt keep on doing so until some of the events predicted in the book make readers extinct.

The Stolen Bacillus
A Deal In Ostriches
Through a Window
The Flying Man
The Diamond Maker
The Lord of the Dynamos
The Hammerpond Park Burglary
Argonauts of the Air
The Cone
A Catastrophe
A Slip Under the Microscope
Filmer
Jimmy Goggles the God
The Man Who Could Work Miracles
