A stranger arrives in a small English town, wreathed in a hat, coat, goggles and bandages. It's not just his identity he's hiding, though; he has discovered the secret of invisibility, and believes it will lead him to ultimate power. But he needs to be able to control the process, and when the terrified villagers refuse to help him, he decides on bloody revenge. An immediate success when it first appeared, H. G. Wells's adventure is at once chilling and thrilling, and one of the undisputed classics of science fiction.
Klappentext
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.Biografie (H. G. Wells)
H(erbert) G(eorge) Wells, geb. am 21. September 1866 in Bromley/Kent, starb am 13. August 1946 in London. Nach einer Kaufmannslehre absolvierte er ein naturwissenschaftliches Studium mit Prädikatsexamen; nach nur wenigen Jahren als Dozent lebte er als freier Schriftsteller. Sein Gesamtwerk umfaßt etwa hundert Bände. Zu Weltruhm gelangte er mit seinen Romanen und Erzählungen, die ihn als Begründer der modernen Science Fiction, als genialen phantastischen Utopisten und als kritisch-humorvollen Gesellschaftssatiriker ausweisen.- Tracklisting
