The Invisible Man

3.64 (167,438 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): H.G. Wells

A cautionary horror story about the dangers of greed, isolation and a science without ethics, from the father of science fiction.

The stranger arrives early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow. He is wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his hat hides every inch of his face. Rude and rough, the stranger works with strange apparatus locked in his room all day and walks along lonely lanes at night, his bandaged face inspiring fear in children and dogs. Is he the mutilated victim of an accident? A criminal on the run? An eccentric genius? But no-one in the village comes close to guessing who has come amongst them, or what those bandages hide.

Wells was the founding father of science fiction, and in his utopian fantasy novels he was proved eerily correct Daily Telegraph

About H.G. Wells

H.G. Wells was born in Bromley Kent in 1866. After an education repeatedly interrupted by his familys financial problems he eventually found work as a teacher at a succession of schools where he began to write his first stories. Wells became a prolific writer with a diverse output of which the famous works are his science fiction novels. These are some of the earliest and most influential examples of the genre and include classics such as The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds. Most of his books very well-received and had a huge influence on many younger writers including George Orwell and Isaac Asimov. Wells also wrote many popular non-fiction books and used his writing to support the wide range of political and social causes in which he had an interest although these became increasingly eccentric towards the end of his life. Twice-married Wells had many affairs including a ten-year liaison with Rebecca West that produced a son. He died in London in 1946.
