Synopsis

In the night, he must have eaten and slept; for in the morning he was himself again, active, powerful, angry, and malignant, prepared for his last great struggle against the world. Griffin, an ingenious research scientist, develops a process that can render physical objects invisible. Having successfully performed it on himself, he soon realises that it is impossible to survive like this. And now this invisible man is desperate to reverse the process. Will Griffin be able to become visible again? Or Will his obsession for invisibility result in his doom? An outstanding work of science fiction, H. G. Wells The Invisible Man brings forth the destructive effects science can have on humanity. This masterpiece has been adapted into numerous films, TV series, stage plays, and radio dramas.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Born in Bromley in Kent, England, Herbert George H. G. Wells (1866-1946) has been called the father of science fiction. His most notable works include The War of the Worlds (1897), The Time Machine (1895), The Invisible Man (1897), and The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896). Wells also wrote on topics related to history and social commentary and was involved in politics for much of his life. Novels like Kipps and The History of Mr. Polly, which describe lower-middle class life, led to the suggestion that he was a worthy successor to Charles Dickens. After living through two World Wars and seeing Orson Welles broadcast of The War of the Worlds strike panic in listeners, Wells died in London on August 13, 1946. The Invisible Man remains a remarkable work of science fiction, revealing the destructive effects science can have on humanity.
