For readers who love early science fiction, Spanish literature and satire, or who enjoy discovering how time travel first took shape in stories.
Worum es in diesem Buch geht
The Anacronopete is a Spanish novel of 1887 by Enrique Gaspar, a playwright and diplomat. It tells of an inventor, Don Sindulfo García, who builds a vessel that can fly backward through time. Its name comes from Greek roots and means something like one who flies against time. The book appeared eight years before H. G. Wells published The Time Machine, which is why readers often call it an early story of travel through time.
You get a comic adventure and a sharp look at how people think about history. The travelers visit earlier ages, and the past is not calm. It is crowded, loud and full of surprises. In the first key point, let us look at the machine itself and the idea behind it.

Punkt 1 von 4
A machine built to fly against time
The center of the book is its invention. Gaspar gives the idea a name, the anacronopete, and treats it as a real vessel with a crew and a purpose. The machine does not carry people forward into a bright future. It carries them back into the past, and that choice shapes the whole story.
Gaspar was a man of the theater, and he builds the idea the way a playwright builds a stage. He gives his readers a clear premise, then lets people and situations collide. The science is playful rather than exact. The aim is to set up a world where the usual rules of history can be visited, not to teach physics.
This matters because it marks a turning point in fiction. Earlier writers had sent heroes into dreams or long sleeps. Gaspar sends them in a built device, with a pilot and a plan. That is the seed of the time machine story as we know it today.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
