The Invisible Man (1897) blends comedy and tragedy in its story of a scientist who discovers a way to make himself invisible. His inability to reverse the process leads to a radical disconnection from societyâand eventually from his own sanity. Arriving in a town where no one knows him, disguised in bandages and dark glasses, the invisible man is driven to violent and criminal extremes before his secret is revealed. This prescient parable of the dark side of scientific progress demonstrates H. G. Wells's signature gift for dramatizing humanity's grandest possibilities and darkest fears.

It was really interesting to read how people, the human, is so scared about what we canât see, putting aside the intentions and madness of the Invisible man, watching all of them being afraid and almost falling into panic was a very curious perspective. I enjoy it, all the characters had some charisma that I liked. No regrets, now I can understand why is a classic and where came the inspiration for different concepts for the adaptations made.
