The Invisible Man

A mysterious stranger, his face wrapped in bandages and his eyes hidden behind dark glasses, arrives at a small Sussex village inn in winter. His odd habits and short temper soon stir gossip and suspicion among the villagers. The truth is that he is a scientist who has found a way to make himself invisible, and the discovery brings him isolation and growing desperation. Part comedy, part thriller, the novel examines the dangers of power without responsibility and remains a classic of science fiction.
