Publisher Description
“The Invisible Man” is a science fiction novella by the English writer H.G. Wells. The story was first published in serial format in a magazine called “Pearson’s Weekly” in 1897. The novella was published on its own later that year due to the public interest.
The novella is told in the third person and revolves around a scientist named Griffin who discovers a formula that is capable of making a person invisible indefinitely.
In this tale of psychological terror, the young scientist must live in the personal hell created by his own experiments. Using himself as the subject, the scientist is unable to reverse the results. Wells had created a gripping masterpiece on the destructive effects the invisibility has on the scientist and the insane and murderous chaos left in his malicious wake.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Actor Griffin adds to the mysterious atmosphere of this classic work of science fiction originally published in 1897. In his cultured British accent, he carries listeners through the trials and tribulations of Wells's creation, a mad scientist (also named Griffin) who does research into optical refraction until he finds a formula that makes him invisible a state he mistakenly believes will provide him with fame and fortune. Actor Griffin makes palpable the profound panic of the scientist, who is unable to find a formula to reverse his invisibility. He provides fine cockney accents for innkeepers Jenny and George Hall, which adds color and authenticity to the performance. Listeners will be immersed in the struggle of local scientists, doctors, and police to apprehend a man they cannot see.
