The Invisible Man tells explores the dark side of Science, of research gone horribly wrong. Rendered invisible by his experiments, the bandage-swaddled Griffin seeks solitude in a village inn and tries desperately to discover the antidote to his horrifying condition. But his peculiar appearance is met with suspicion by the villagers and he is eventually forced from his lodgings by the terrified neighbours - with disastrous consequences for all. H G Wells' science fiction thriller is a well-deserved classic, and as relevant today as when it was first published over a hundred years ago.

Autorenporträt
Hebert George Wells, known as H. G. Wells, was a British author born in 1866. He was a prolific writer, publishing works in many genres, from short stories to social commentaries. However, he is best known for his science fiction novels, leading some to call him the "father of science fiction," or even the "Shakespeare of science fiction!" Wells is known as a futurist, meaning that much of his fiction foresaw changes that have now happened in world. Wells was a socialist and a member of the Fabian society and this political background can be found in his work.
