توضیحات
Once a brilliant scientist, Griffin has been gradually consumed by his research. When he finally achieves his goal, the final result is his departure from humanity. He feels no remorse in using his invisibility to gratify his increasing desires. As he gradually loses his mind, it is hard to determine if it is a result of his chemical concoction, or a simple continuation of his moral decline.
At a time when science fiction was depicting what wonders the future would bring, H. G. Wells was one of the first writers to explore the dark side of science, and portray how easily mortal man could be corrupted when tempted by seemingly unlimited power.

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?”
