Inneal na Tìme / The Time Machine

Nuair a dh'fhoillsich e The Time Machine ann an 1895, chruthaich H. G. Wells gn?ficsein 鑴 sa Bheurla. Shoirbhich le Wells gu m犡 na sgr髺bhadair, gu 鬳e mar thoradh air a' chli?a choisinn e airson The Time Machine.

'S e sgeul-fr醀m a th' anns an leabhar. Aig toiseach ghnothaichean, 鋱stidh ar neach-aithris ri m髶eachaidhean saidheansail (nach tuig e) bhon phr髺mh phearsa, nach eil ainmichte uair sam bith san leabhar. 'S e an Si鸑hlaiche-t骻e a th' aig an neach-aithris air a' charactar 醀sgaidh seo. Nuair a chanas an Si鸑hlaiche-t骻e gu bheil e air inneal a dhealbhadh a tha comasach air triall air ais 's air adhart tro th骻, cha chreid an luchd-鋱steachd idir e. Ach, an ath uair a choinnicheas a' bhuidheann aig taigh an t-Si鸑hlaiche-t骻e, cluinnidh iad sgeulachd a dh'fh跰as e doirbh dhaibh a bhith cho cinnteach.

H. G. Wells created a new genre of fiction in the English language with his publication of the full version of The Time Machine in 1895. Wells went on to become a successful writer, to a large extent based on the fame he earned for The Time Machine.

The novel is a frame-tale. It begins with our narrator listening to a scientific explanation from the main character, who is never named in the book. This 'Time Traveller' claims he has designed a machine that can travel back and forth through time. Although his dinner guests scoff at the idea, their next visit to the Time Traveller's house leaves them in doubt.

Here, for the first time, Wells's iconic text appears bilingually with the Gaelic translation rendered by Moray Watson, Professor of Gaelic and Translation at the University of Aberdeen.
