Summary
The Invisible Man
A Grotesque Romance
by H. G. Wells
Presented by Voices of Today
Narrated by Graham Scott, Andy Harrington, Denis Daly, Patrick Barker, and Lillian Rachel
The Invisible Man was the fourth sci-fi novel written by Wells in the 1890s. The main character, Griffin, is one of the intimidating villains in all popular literature. The archetypal "mad scientist," Griffin devotes himself to an obsessive study of optics and realizes his ambition to render livings things permanently invisible. After making a cat invisible, he successfully applies the procedure to himself. After causing chaos in London, he travels to the village of Iping in Sussex and takes up residence in a local hotel. He attempts to conceal his invisibility by wearing gloves, bandages on his face, and a false nose. However, due to his irascible and impulsive temperament, the inhabitants soon become aware that he is invisible, and Griffin decides to institute a reign of terror in the neighborhood.
The Invisible Man has become one of Well's most popular works and has been adapted multiple times for presentation in film, television, and in graphic novels.
