Griffin, a young scientist, after long experiments manages to create a substance that makes objects, animals and people invisible; when he tries it on himself, his advantage becomes a trap. Hounded, he abandons his scruples and uses invisibility to enrich himself and dominate, without hesitating at violence or deceit.

Recommended for readers aged 12 and up, especially for those approaching the classics of youth literature.
Herbert George Wells was an English writer, prolific in many genres. He wrote more than forty novels and dozens of short stories. His non-fiction output included works of social commentary, politics, history, popular science, satire, biography, and autobiography. Wells is most known today for his groundbreaking science fiction novels; he has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction", a title that has also been given to Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.
