Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Man from Time" by Frank Belknap Long is a science fiction novella written in the early 1950s. The story explores the psychological struggles of a man named Daring Moonson who travels through time using a sophisticated machine. It delves into the themes of fear, isolation, and the human condition, suggesting that even technological advancements cannot shield individuals from their internal conflicts. In the narrative, Daring Moonson grapples with acute "Time Fear," a debilitating anxiety that seizes him during his travels. Despite his innovative journey through different ages, he becomes increasingly haunted by past fears and uncertainties about his own existence and relationships. As he encounters various characters, including a troubled young couple and a writer struggling with his past failures, Moonson learns the importance of companionship and emotional connection. Ultimately, the story culminates in a realization that love and trust can overcome fear, leading him back to his wife, Rutella, who has come to reaffirm their bond and confront life's challenges together.
