«L'Homme invisible» is the science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published by Gallimard jeunesse in paperback (224 pages, in French).
A stranger covered in bandages arrives in the village of Iping in winter, and his presence sparks rumours; when it is discovered that he can vanish without a trace, fear turns into a desperate pursuit. The tale blends suspense, science and social criticism around a scientist who has achieved invisibility.
Translation by Achille Laurent. The original, The Invisible Man, was published in 1897; the present edition dates from 1975.
Aimed at young readers aged 12 and over, and at anyone who wants to read Wells in his French version.
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.
