This pioneering work presents the first literary depiction of a time machine, predating H.G. Wells' famous novel. Spanish inventor Don Sindulfo García creates the Anacronópete to travel backward through time, hoping to impose his will on his unwilling ward Clara. Accompanied by reluctant passengers, the journey takes them through historical events to ancient China, where they seek the secret of immortality while navigating dangerous encounters and romantic entanglements.
