Description
The Invisible Man, a groundbreaking science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, tells the story of a man who has developed a process that makes him invisible. With his face swaddled in bandages, he is initially assumed to be a shy accident victim, but his true reason for the disguise is far more sinister.
As the story unfolds, the invisible man's struggle to discover the antidote to his condition becomes a desperate bid for survival. Forced from his home, he is driven to murder and seeks the aid of an old friend, Kemp. However, when Kemp refuses to help, the invisible man resolves to wreak his revenge, leaving a trail of horror in his wake.
First published in 1897, The Invisible Man is a pioneering work of science fiction that explores the darker aspects of human nature. This Penguin English Library edition features 208 pages of classic fiction, presented in a paperback binding.
