Descrizione

When a mysterious stranger arrives at a local inn with his face hidden behind bandages, he soon becomes the talk of the village. Locking himself in his room, he spends most of his time mixing chemicals, desperately trying to reverse the affects of invisibility. But when his money runs out, the invisible man soon discovers that he is ill-equipped on his own, and that he must place his trust in others if he is to survive. H. G. Wells is credited with the popularisation of time travel in 1895 with The Time Machine, introducing the idea of time being the "fourth dimension" a decade before the publication of Einstein's first Relativity papers. In 1896, he imagined a mad scientist creating human-like beings from animals in The Island of Doctor Moreau, which created a growing interest in animal welfare throughout Europe. In 1897 with The Invisible Man, Wells shows how a formula could render one invisible, recognizing that an invisible eye would not be able to focus, thus rendering the invisible man blind. With The War of the Worlds in 1898, Wells established the idea that an advanced civilization could live on Mars, popularising the term 'martian' and the idea that aliens could invade Earth.

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!!!!

July 30th 2026

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?”
