Invisible Man

by H. G. Wells Narrated by LibriVox Community

Overview

The Invisible Man (1897) is one of the most famous science fiction novels of all time. Written by H.G. Wells (1866-1946), it tells the story of a scientist who discovers the secret of invisibility and uses it on himself. The story begins as the Invisible Man, with a bandaged face and a heavy coat and gloves, takes a train to lodge in a country inn whilst he tries to discover the antidote and make himself visible again. The book inspired several films and is notable for its vivid descriptions of the invisible man--no mean feat, given that you can't see him!

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

I personally consider the greatest of English living writers [to be] H. G. Wells.”—Upton Sinclair

AudioFile

A harrowing read from cover to cover, The Invisible Man is perfect for the audio format.”

SFFaudio

The psychological rigor that Wells brings to the novel makes The Invisible Man quite possibly the first and last straight science fiction story worthy of our attentions.”
