The study of the idea of travel travel: paradoxes, science, reflection of this phenomenon in culture - from Wells and Proust to Borges and Woody Allen - and its influence on our perception of time as a whole.
James Glick comprehensively explores the concept of the fourth dimension and time in time: how it arose, how it developed - in literature and science - and how it influenced the perception of time as a whole. He shows that this idea has firmly entered modern culture and is present both in modern physics and in fiction.
The history of time travels begins from the end of the 19th century, when Herbert Wells has been writing his first novel-“Time Machine”. It was a time when many technological and scientific breakthroughs - from the steam engine and telegraph to excavations of ancient civilizations - changed our perception of time. James Glick describes the whole story of this mysterious, interesting and complete paradox of the phenomenon from that moment to our times, talking about the difference between fantastic fiction and modern science
