Resenhas - The Time Machine

ao futuro e além
Os capítulos finais fazem toda a jornada valer a pena. Não que todo o restante seja dispensável ou inferior. As análises humanas e sociais são bem inseridas no processo de exploração e as descobertas deste novo mundo são bem apresentadas, mas no momento em que a imaginação expande e a mente viaja tudo torna-se imensamente mais interessante.

An interesting tale through time and society.
The story starts with the Time Traveller explaining about his research and invention to a group of people. At first there were two things which got my interest: The first thing that got my interest was that the responsible for the story-telling, the narrator, is a member of the group, a spectator. 

  The second was the way the characters are crystalized. Instead of introducing the characters and then building them brick by brick, the characters are "named" after pieces of their life. For example: The Psychologist, The Medical Man, The Very Young Man, etc. Probably due to the shortness of the book and the short appearances of those same characters, that resource was used to set characters which weren't empty.

  Since this is my second H. G. Wells' book, I'm beginning to see a pattern, other than the sci-fiction genre which, as far as I know, is an exclusivity of this author :

  The lead character presents a series of personality aspects in common. In both "The Invisible Man" and "The Time Machine", the story is built around the inventions of male scientists who value science above all else, including moral matters. Those scientists have violent impulses, and narcissistic tendencies;

  Furthermore I have a hypothesis which consists on the author tending to tell his stories from an outside point of view to the "abnormal" event. This tendency has the goal to represent the society, and it's reaction to science's advances. But then again it is just a hypothesis.

  Most of the scenes were told by one character, therefore, usually with a limited point of view. However the author wrote the story with such a richness of detail that you can put yourself in the scenes.  Personally I believe this ability of construction through the details builds a persuasive read. The reader, aka me, actually considers for a second that the story is real, all in all making the book more interesting.

Máquina do tempo ?
The Time Machine de H.G Wells é um livro de ficção científica que traz um conceito explorado a exaustão nos dias de hoje, viagem no tempo.

O livro é bem curto e seus capítulos iniciais são lentos demais, podendo desencorajar o leitor. Outro ponto que se manifesta negativamente na história é a burrice do protagonista, tem momentos que é quase impossível de acreditar que ele desenvolveu uma máquina tão complexa, agindo de maneira tão burra.

A abordagem do futuro que o livro traz é muito interessante e única, beirando o absurdo em um futuro extremamente distante.

A obra não me agradou muito mas sendo uma leitura curta e rápida, não foi um sofrimento intolerável. Mesmo assim há outras obras do aço-do que abordam esse conceito de maneira mais convincente e divertida

Muito bom
Realmente um clássico por um motivo, eu gostei bastante desse livro e também de pensar como alguém pensou nisso do ABSOLUTO Nada. Indico demais.
