«The Invisible Man» is the science fiction novel by H.G. Wells, published by Macmillan Education Australia in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Griffin, a scientist who has managed to become invisible after an irreversible experiment, tries to continue his life unseen, but the isolation and the power his gift gives him lead him to steal and sow chaos in the village of Iping. The novel follows Griffin's pursuit and reflects on the limits of science and unchecked power.
The novel appeared in serial form in 1897 before being published as a book, and the story has given rise to adaptations in film, television, radio and theatre.
Suitable for readers of classic science fiction and Victorian narrative, as well as for those who enjoy suspense stories with a moral undertone.
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.
