Product Description

First published in 1897, The Invisible Man ranks as one of the most famous scientific fantasies ever written. Part of a series of pseudoscientific romances written by H.G. Wells (1866-1946) early in his career, the novel helped establish the British author as one of the first and best writers of science fiction. Set in the turn-of-the-century England, the story focuses on Griffin, a scientist who has discovered the means to make himself invisible. His initial, almost comedic, adventures are soon overshadowed by the bizarre streak of terror he unleases upon the inhabitants of a small village.

This is a true study of human character. Just what would you do if you knew nobody would see you? This is science fiction at its best and the perfect introduction to H.G. Wells.
