In 1888, while a student, H.G. Wells published «The Chronic Argonauts,» a 3-part story serialized in <i>The Science Schools Journal.</i> He would later return to the themes and recreate the story as the classic novel, <i>The Time Machine</i>. (After <i>The Time Machine</i>'s publication, Wells tried to suppress «The Chronic Argonauts,» going so far as buying all copies he could find and destroying them.) Today, the story is a rarity in its original publication, but it is hardly a classic work in the same vein as its successor novel. As a literary curiosity, it commands some interest, but do not go into it expecting anything on the scale of Wells's later, greater novels.
