H.G. Wells' sci-fi classic in a newly translated and illustrated edition! A young scientist uncovers the secret to becoming invisible. At first, he is thrilled with his new discovery, but when he conducts the experiment on himself, he realizes that being invisible does not mean being untouchable. In his desperation, he longs for a way to reverse the process and ends up in a small village, believing he can work in peace. However, when his secret is revealed, a downward spiral of terror and violence begins. What starts off almost comically soon transforms into a psychological nightmare in Wells' groundbreaking novel, which still resonates more than 100 years later and reveals the depths of the human soul.
