Description

A mysterious man wrapped in bandages, wearing large goggles and a hat pulled tightly down over his face arrives at the small town of Iping. A series of strange, inexplicable events are traced back to the newcomer, and it soon becomes clear that appearances are deceiving. Beneath the bandages is an invisible man with the ability to wreak all manner of chaos without any fear of being apprehended! But instead of revelling in his power, when the invisible man finds himself unable to reverse the experiment, he becomes increasingly frenzied, embittered and dangerous. Will the residents of Iping be able to contain this irrepressible figure before it is too late? In H. G. Wells' science fiction classic, the fantasy of invisibility is turned on its head, and instead the perils of the condition are revealed - loneliness, alienation and the painful awareness of being different.

H. G. Wells - O Homem Invisível.

Rapaz, esse livro foi bem doido, assim como, o próprio homem invisível!

É um livro bem curto, com uma leitura boa!
H.G. Wells trouxe, nesse livro, como o ser humano pode ser ambicioso e pensar só em si próprio. Traz também que a invisibilidade tem o seu lado ruim, e bota ruim nisso!!!

Que agonia ler certas partes, eu ia surtar se fosse comigo! E ia esquecer, com toda certeza, que estava invisível, assim como, o personagem esqueceu, e cometeu muitos erros!

O terror nesse livro é diferente! Por isso pode acabar decepcionado um pouco!
Mas valeu muito poder saber o desenvolvimento dessa história!


PS: Que venha logo o Drácula!!!!

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. As Arthur C. Clarke points out in his Introduction, “The interest of the story . . . lies not in its scientific concepts, but in the brilliantly worked out development of the theme of invisibility. If one could be invisible, then what?”
