With The Time Machine Wells prophesied a supremely ironic future, in which scientific and social progress brings about the abolition of war, disease and poverty, but this triumph of reason and humanitarianism ultimately results in the mental and physical degeneration of the human race. However, this devolution does not trace the same path for all mankind. Ancient conflicts between the elites and the masses have persisted to the bitter end, and the final struggle has taken on a particularly lurid character. When the time traveller, who narrates this novella, first meets our distant descendants, he finds them absurdly infantile, yet benign, ignorant of evil doing and subsisting on a healthy vegetarian diet. However, he soon comes to learn that the toilers and oppressed have survived. Although they were put firmly out of sight for thousands of years by the elites, they have now returned ... changed beyond recognition and with very different appetites.
This Latin version is written within the grammatical bounds of Golden-Age Classical Latin, and attempts to reimagine Wells's story as one written by a Roman counterpart, that is to say, with the terse directness that is so characteristic of the language.
