Description: <p>Griffin, a scientist, has devoted his life to the study of optics. As his work progresses, he invents a method of making a person invisible. After testing the experiment on himself, he comes to realize that while the experiment was a complete success, he has no way of reversing his invisibility.</p>
			<p>Written in a time of rapid scientific progress and industrial development, <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/h-g-wells">Wells</a> uses Griffin’s struggle with his condition and descent into obsession and madness to reflect on the dangers of unbridled scientific progress untempered by compassion or humanity.</p>
			<p><i>The Invisible Man</i> was initially serialized in <i>Pearson’s Weekly</i> in 1897, after which it was published as a whole novel that same year.</p>
