Description

A beautiful edition of this classic with 60 illustrations from a 1912 edition and the cover from the 1897 first edition.

The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, and then published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light and thus becomes invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse it. Griffin has become an iconic character in horror fiction. Wells adopts a third-person objective point of view in this book.
