Learn English with a short story on LEP. In this episode I am reading "The Man Who Could Work Miracles" by HG Wells (adapted into modern English). First you can listen to the story, then I summarise it again in my own words, discuss my interpretations of its meaning, explain how you can use stories like this to improve your English, and teach some vocabulary which came up.

In the distance he sees a tall building that looks as though it is made of green porcelain, but instead of heading to this new discovery, he heads into one of the Morlock wells. It takes him a long time to climb down the 200 yard deep well, and he nearly falls, being nearly too heavy for the climbing hooks to hold. He finds a small tunnel where he rests before being awakened by a Morlock touching him. He quickly lights a match, causing the creature to flee, and he makes his way through the tunnel into a large cave. He sees some huge machines lining the walls and a light metal table with some White coloured meat laying on it. His matches are running low, and the creatures are getting more confident around him and he decides that it is a good idea to flee before they swarm him. Exhausting all of his matches, he only narrowly escapes the Morlock's clutches. SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, sees a Victorian scientist send himself forward to the year 802,701 AD. He is delighted to find that suffering has been replaces by beauty and happiness, and a "new man", the Eloi, has descended from man. Science Fiction book, Sci-fi, Classic Literature

When a simple podcast celebrating Batman Forever's 30th anniversary is interrupted by the likes of HG Wells and the dastardly Tempus, our crack team of writers must drop everything for 2-ish hours and pitch the greatest Lois & Clark/Batman Forever crossover TV movie they can possibly imagine… within the city limits of 90s Metropolis, of course. Check out this week's guests on all their other great podcasts: Zach Moore: Always Hold On To Smallville Lance Laster: Always Hold On To Arrow Kevonte Chilous: Always Hold On To Star Wars and for no real reason… Rob O'Connor: All Star Superfan Podcast Matt Truex is a Warner Bros. Discovery employee. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are his own and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Warner Bros. Discovery.

Paul Cornell (Doctor Who, Elementary) and Lizbeth Myles (Big Finish, Verity!), discuss the Science Fiction and Fantasy television made in the UK every year from 1953 to the present day.   In this episode, we discuss two episodes of HG Wells' The Invisible Man (1958), as well as an entry from Armchair Theatre titled "I Can Destroy The Sun" (also 1958).

As he gets closer to it however, something is wrong. He swears that this is the place that he left it, but it is nowhere to be found. In a frenzy he runs around accosting the Eloi and trying to find out what they have done with it. After a while, he calms down and sleeps. In the morning, he assumes that they must have moved it beneath the Sphinx statue as they aren't strong enough to have moved it far and with a rock he hits at the pedestal, finding it to be hollow. The Eloi are very scared by his actions, and the Time Traveller eventually stops, reasoning that it would be better to be calm for a few days to better integrate into their society while he finds out more. As some days go by, he asks more questions about the Eloi and their strange world. They wear clothes, yet no one seems to make them, The strange vents seem to produce warm air, and there are very deep wells all over the place. One day, he rescues one of the Eloi from drowning, and she becomes very attached to him, like a child to a parent. He wakes up one morning and sees some white ghost-like figures and speculates that they are ghosts. But he was soon proven wrong, when he came face to face with one of these white creatures before it dashed out of sight down one of the wells. He soon concludes that these creatures, Morlocks, must too have descended from humans and endeavours to find out more about them.

He removes the control lever from the machine to stop anyone else from using the machine, and followed the creatures. The creatures have large eyes, curly hair, and thin red lips. When the Time traveller points to the sky, trying to explain where he came from, a little man made an explosion sound, thinking he came from the hailstorm. He wonders if the men are fools and is greatly disappointed. The little men begin to run around the Time Traveller and start throwing flowers at him.The creatures take the Time Traveller into one of their large buildings. It is covered in hieroglyphics. They give him a meal of strange fruit and he starts trying to learn some of their language. The little men laugh at the Time Traveller's attempts at speech, but they soon grew weary of teaching him. The men seem foolish and indolent. He notices, on a walk, that the creatures all live in buildings together, and makes note that there are no signs of gender or old people. He thinks that he has arrived in a communist paradise, and that these creatures are a result of a world without fear and hardship. He notes that the work of his time is with the goal of making life easier, and that the result of that is frailty. The hardship is what keeps man intelligent and strong. Without danger, he believes that there is no need for family, which results in this strange way of life. But, The Time Traveller notes, this theory was very wrong.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H. G.

Most scholars are both haunted, even undone, by the task of writing papers for peers and traveling to strange campuses to deliver them. Yet we keep it up--we inflict it on our peers, we inflict it on ourselves. Why? To answer that question, Recall This Book assembled three (if you count John) scholars of Victorian literature asked to speak at the Spring 2025 Northeastern Victorian Studies Association conference. Their discussion began with the idea that agreeing to give papers is an act of “externalized self-promising” and ranged across the reasons that floating ideas before our peers is terrifying, exhilarating and ultimately necessary. Kristin Mahoney 's books include Literature and the Politics of Post-Victorian Decadence (Cambridge UP, 2015) and Queer Kinship After Wilde: Transnational Decadence and the Family. Nasser Mufti 's first scholarly book was Civilizing War and he is currently working on a monograph about what Britain's nineteenth century looks like from the perspective of such anti-colonial thinkers as C.L.R. James and Eric Williams. (RTB listeners don't need to hear about John or his Arendt obsession.

Eric Williams, British Historians and the West Indies on hte grid theorizations of race by folks like Acton C L R James Adorno's Minima Moralia provides Naser with an important reminder o the importance of “hating tradition properly.” H G Wells, The Time Machine and its modernist aftermath eg in the opening pages of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past and in Ford Madox Ford's The Inheritors and The Good Soldier, which is in its own peculiar way a time-travel novel.

Lorsqu'il se réveille à Londres en 2100, il apprend qu'il a dormi deux siècles. Ses gardiens s'adressent à lui comme à un monarque, tandis qu'au dehors gronde la révolution.

In H.G. Wells's "The Red Room," a young man, confident in his rationality, seeks to debunk the supernatural in a reputedly haunted chamber. He is certain that his experience will be defined by logic and reason. But the air within the castle walls is heavy with unspoken dread, and as the candles dwindle, something shifts. Is it the room itself, or something within him, that begins to unravel? "The Red Room" was first published in The Idler magazine in March of 1896. H.G. Wells (1866-1946), a visionary of science fiction and social commentary, explored the depths of human experience with unparalleled skill. Learn more about your ad choices.

He felt a lurch and dizzy sensation and pulled the lever back to its original spot… 5 hours had passed. He then decided to push the lever all the way forward and proceeded to watch the sun and moon revolve around him. The lab soon disappeared, and he sees the sky and hazy buildings pass in front of his eyes. He is very excited, but soon starts to wonder what will happen when he stops the machine – what if there is a solid object where he is currently positioned. He grows afraid and pulls the lever back and is then flung forward through the air with the machine. The Time Traveller finds himself in the middle of a hailstorm. When it passes, he sees a giant statue of a white “sphinx” on a bronze pedestal. He starts to become fear for what has happened to mankind. He notices large buildings around him, and as he turns towards the Time Machine, he sees some strange figures standing in rich robes watching him. One of them approaches him and the time traveller remarks that he is very frail and small, but beautiful.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H.

He is giving a lecture on the fourth dimension. He tells them that a cube does not only exist in space, but also in time. He goes on further to claim that a man should not just be able to move about in space, the 3 other dimensions, but also in time. He notes that we are nonetheless moving forwards along the time dimension, so why not backwards. He produces a small version of a "Time Machine" and lays it on the table. He explains that one lever will send it forward, and the other backward in time. He asks one of the other guests to push the lever, and after doing so, the machine disappears, blowing out a candle with it. The guests ask why they cannot see it if it is moving into the future, and the Time Traveler explains that it is moving too quickly to be seen. The guests are blown away, and the Time Traveler takes them to his laboratory where they find a even bigger, machine.
