«El hombre invisible» is the science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
A scientist discovers a procedure to become invisible and tries it on himself, but cannot reverse the effect. Turned into a being no one can see, he tries to survive in a small English town while his isolation drives him toward increasingly violent behaviour. The novel raises the dangers of scientific knowledge used unscrupulously and its consequences for the user.
It belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection, Biblioteca Temática Juvenil, with a translation by Julio Gómez de la Serna. Originally written in 1897, after «La máquina del tiempo».
Recommended for young readers and for those approaching Victorian science fiction classics for the first time.
Herbert George Wells was an English writer, prolific in many genres. He wrote more than forty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells is most known today for his groundbreaking science fiction novels; he has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction", a title that has also been given to Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.
