The Invisible Man A Grotesque Romance

A gripping and entertaining tale of terror and suspense as well as a potent Faustian allegory of hubris and science run amok,The Invisible Manendures 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 Manis 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?" From the Trade Paperback edition.

<b>Arthur C. Clarke</b> is the author of more than sixty works of science fiction, including <i>2001: A Space Odyssey and Childhood’s End</i>. He lives in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
