Abstract
The thesis discusses the phenomenon of time travel and its usage in narratives. It covers the evolution of time travel stories, from the unexplained and coincidental time slips to the introduction of the time machine, which became one of the more recognizable tropes of science fiction in general. The ensuing discussion includes the influence that scientifical ideas and concepts had on SF authors and their work, as well as the inevitable paradoxes that arise from time travelling to the past. Through the examples of two classics of time travel fiction, H. G. Wells’ The Time Machine and Ray Bradbury’s “A Sound of Thunder”, concepts like determinism, the butterfly effect and time tourism are introduced and analyzed.
