商品簡介
Including a detailed biographical introduction of H. G. Wells. *** A chilling exploration of power, isolation, and the darker sides of scientific ambition. When a mysterious stranger arrives in the quiet English village of Iping, wrapped head to toe in bandages and demanding absolute privacy, the locals sense something is terribly wrong. They could never imagine the truth: Griffin, a brilliant but unstable scientist, has discovered the secret of invisibility-and the discovery has driven him to the edge of madness. As Griffin's invisibility becomes both his ultimate power and his complete undoing, Wells crafts a harrowing portrait of a man unmoored from society and consumed by his own genius. Unable to reverse his condition and increasingly desperate, Griffin descends into paranoia and violence, wielding his invisibility as a weapon of terror against the very world that can no longer see him. Published in 1897, The Invisible Man remains one of Wells's most psychologically penetrating works-a story that transcends its science fiction premise to explore timeless questions about the corrupting nature of unchecked power, the bonds that tie us to our humanity, and what happens when scientific progress outpaces moral wisdom. "A masterpiece of suspense and social commentary that reminds us why H. G. Wells is regarded as one of the founding fathers of science fiction." *** The series "Large Print Reader's Choice" features classic books with a font size of at least 16 points.
