Summary

In this Pride and Prejudice Novella Variation, Elizabeth Bennet is introduced to Fitzwilliam Darcy through her sister, Mary, who is friends with Darcy's sister. They make an immediate connection and a courtship follows. When Darcy proposes, Elizabeth is eager to accept him. 
Darcy escorts his betrothed to her home estate of Longbourn, which happens to be next door to Darcy's friend's leased home of Netherfield. Two people from Darcy's life—his aunt and his former friend—appear in the area, determined to step between the couple, but Darcy puts them in their places and they go on their way. 
One of those people, however, is out for revenge, and plans to use Elizabeth to hurt Darcy. When she goes missing, Darcy tears the county apart looking for her. Will he find her in time, or will she be lost to him forever?

    One of the most loved science fiction novels of all time, H. G. Wells’s The Time Machine is a novel that crafts a vivid and haunting picture of an earth some 800,000 years into the future.First published in 1895, it was one of the first novels to deal with the concept of time travel and due to its popularity has come to be regarded as one of the most impactful works on the development of the science fiction genre. The Time Machine was written at the beginning of a period of great technological advancement and it is evident in the author’s writings that this was an area of serious concern for him. Due to the author’s political leanings towards Socialism, he was highly skeptical of the value of technological developments in advancing the interests of society as a whole.The author poses the question within the framework of the novel: will technology ever go too far? The future world of the Eloi depicted within the novel warns of the dangerous consequences of unchecked technological advancements in a compelling, provocative, and timeless way.
