时间机器(The Time Machine)简介：

When a Victorian scientist propels himself into the year a.d. 802,701, he is initially delighted to find that suffering has been replaced by beauty, contentment, and peace.

And when the scientist’s time machine vanishes, it becomes clear he must search these tunnels if he is ever to return to his own era.
