description: "At last only the dead tips of the fingernails remained, pallid &amp; white, &amp; the brown stain of some acid upon my fingers. I was almost invisible..." In this horrific tale of toying with science &amp; nature, an obscure scientist invents a formula rendering flesh invisible. Now he can go anywhere, do anything-except he can no longer render himself visible again-&amp; he has gone murderously insane. When he enters the village pub on a wintery day, wrapped from head to foot, the invisible man at first presents a comic image. But as the villagers discover the truth, they turn on him in horror, as his malice &amp; invisibilty prove a lethal combination. Only in death can he become visible &amp; harmless again. Wells' imaginative insights into human psychology enabled him to evoke in this novel perhaps the ultimate alienation that can befall a human being.
