Books and Stories
Enrique Gaspar (b. 1842 - d. 1902) was a Spanish diplomat, playwright and author, initially of zarzuelas, comic operettas with spoken dialogue in the French manner. He is of science fiction interest for the book-length "El anacronópete" (in Novelas, coll 1887; translated as "The Time Ship: A Chrononautical Journey" in 2012) which, although it is not the first text to posit something like Time Travel, seems to be the first to describe a Time Machine.Select a novel or story title to see the inventions from that work:
