Summary: "The Man Who Saw the Future" by Edmond Hamilton is a science fiction short story originally published in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1930s. The narrative unfolds in a historical setting during the 15th century, illustrating the clash between the pursuit of knowledge and the rigid superstitions of the time. The story revolves around a young apothecary's assistant, Henri Lothiere, who experiences a terrifying fate when he is accused of sorcery after witnessing a strange phenomenon that transports him into the future. In the tale, Henri Lothiere is charged by the Inquisitor Jean de Marselait with the crime of sorcery after he vanishes from a field in Paris during a thunderclap, which is later revealed to be the result of time travel. Upon his arrival in the year 1944, Henri is fascinated and bewildered by the advanced technology and societal changes he encounters, from flying vehicles to the ways people communicate. He learns about the scientific principles that enable time travel and longs to share this knowledge with his own time. However, upon returning home, his attempts to convey the wonders he experienced are met with disbelief and fear, ultimately leading to his execution. The story explores themes of enlightenment versus ignorance, the potential for human progress, and the tragic consequences of misunderstanding. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
