The celebrated interviews Lenin and Stalin accorded H. G. Wells are a part our century's troubled political history, and as such well-documented both on the Soviet side and in the West. It is less widely known that Wells's interest in Russia antedates the October Revolution, indeed, that he visited that country with his russophile friend Maurice Baring on the eve of the First World War, at a time when Wells had already acquired a remarkable literary reputation. There, he was admired by writers as disparate as Tolstoy, Zamyatin, Nabokov, and Gorky with whom he formed a close friendship, abetted by their mutual love of the Baroness Budberg. These Russian connections of Wells's, as well as his three journeys to Russia and the Soviet Union have not been previously explored against the background of his attitudes to socialism, which in turn played a crucial part in Wells's own search for an ideal society. For Wells, this quest was inseparable from his idea of a federal world state and his perception of the Russian revolutions of 1917 as its harbinger. Although he had many doubts about the Bolshevik regime, he attempted to persuade the English people that Lenin--whom he met in 1920--and his party were the only possible option at a time when few governments were prepared to recognize the Bolsheviks. His own doubts became genuine misgivings in 1934, after his disappointing encounter with Stalin. Nevertheless, Wells's final disenchantment with Russia did not mirror that of other fellow travellers or the period, such as Arthur Koestler and George Orwell, Before his depth in 1946, Wells's profound and inconsistent feelings towards the U.S.S.R. were further complicated by the Second World War and the role the Red Army would play in the struggle against Hitler.

A peça radiofônica em questão foi produzida pelo grupo PRO.SOM e faz uma releitura do texto de Wells, publicado em 1898, ao ser trazido para uma mídia sonora, assim como, ao se apresentar uma mulher no papel de uma cientista que protagoniza a narrativa. Buscou-se entender como se desenvolveu o processo de adaptação da referida protagonista. Os estudos da Crítica Genética foram importantes como embasamento teórico-metodológico da análise do referido processo. Partimos de reflexões propostas, principalmente por Almuth Grésillon (1994) e Pierre-Marc de Biasi (2000), para embasar o trabalho. / This study has analyzed the creative process of the radio play A máquina do tempo´s main character (2017), an adaptation based on the novel The time machine, written by the English author Herbert George Wells, considered one of those who fostered science fiction books. The script of the referred radio play has been written by PRO.SOM team and it is a recreation of Well's novel, published in 1898. Then, the literary text has been translated into a sound media and, in such recreation, a woman plays the role of the scientist responsible for the creation of the time machine. Genetic criticism has been the theoretical and methodological background of this dissertation; Almuth Grésillon´s (1994) and Pierre-Marc de Biasi´s (2000) texts have been very important for this research.
