An abridged Sinhala translation of The Time Machine, the science fiction novel by H. G. Wells. The text is in Sinhala throughout, prepared by Premasiri Mahingoda and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. Readers who do not read Sinhala should note this before ordering.
Wells's story follows a Victorian scientist who builds a machine capable of carrying him along the dimension of time. He travels far into the future of the earth, and the book describes the world he finds there and what he sees in it.
Because this is an abridged rendering rather than a full translation, it moves through the story in condensed form. That makes it a practical way to meet the novel in Sinhala for readers coming to Wells for the first time, including younger readers and students reading outside English.
Premasiri Mahingoda has worked on bringing English fiction into Sinhala for Sri Lankan readers. M. D. Gunasena & Co. is a long-established Colombo publisher and bookseller issuing titles in Sinhala and English, including school texts, general reading and translated fiction.
