_The Time Machine_ (Wells) features a nameless protagonist known
simply as "the time traveller."

Then there's the nameless narrator of _New Atlantis_ (Bacon). This
story's setting's similar to Lemuria: <https://lemuria.net/> - a new
Atlantis in the South Pacific. The story clearly illuminates Bacon's
infatuation with the secret life.

Danke,
