This book comprises an adventurous story. It is to be cherished not only for understanding of the uniqueness but also for the golden age of the scientific romances. Science fiction can no longer discuss the plain effects of the discoveries on ordinary people. Griffin accidently stumbles upon the logically impossible idea that a man can be invisible. By relentless labour he achieves the impossible only to be introduced to the harsher realities of existence. 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.

H. G. Wells

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.
