The Invisible Man/The War of the Worlds

Novel, Scientific romance by Herbert George Wells, Len Jenkin

Blurb

A gripping and entertaining tale of terror and suspense as well as a potent Faustian allegory of hubris and science run amok, The Invisible Man endures as one of the signature stories in the literature of science fiction. A brilliant scientist uncovers the secret to invisibility, but his grandiose dreams and the power he unleashes cause him to spiral into intrigue, madness, and murder. The inspiration for countless imitations and film adaptations, The Invisible Man is as remarkable and relevant today as it was a hundred years ago.
A quiet English country village is disturbed by the arrival of a mysterious stranger who keeps his face hidden and his back to everyone.
