OverviewH.G. Wells' premise has been the source for many screenplays, scripts and a springboard for many fantastical ideas. However, the importance of the Invisible Man is not necessarily in the idea it proposes, it lies in the effect on mankind in the pursuit of science. Griffin's paranoia and the murder of his fellow beings to preserve his ideas are reflected, on a smaller scale, in more recent scientific developments. Iping village is a microcosm of humanity and the prying locals, the self important and self appointed judges of Griffin can easily be discerned today. The Invisible Man is far too important to be dismissed as make believe. The question has become not What happens if? but What happens when? Leaving all such enquiry aside it is a wonderfully gripping tale! Full Product DetailsAuthor: H. G.
