The Invisible Man

The invisible man whose central character, like Dracula or Frankenstein, has reached a place in the imaginary of the modern world gives definitive shape to one of the motifs that would gain more prominence, and in a sense become terrifying reality, in the twentieth century: that of the thoughtless and unscrupulous use of scientific knowledge and the dire consequences of putting it at the service of selfish or spurious causes. In The Invisible Man he shows us the contradictions of a brilliant young scientist who, after long days of exhausting experiments, discovers the way to become invisible. However, upset by the sufferings and harassment to which he is subjected, he abandons all scruples and tries to use his discovery to enrich himself and dominate, without stopping in the face of violence and deception. A fantastic and somewhat bitter novel, it highlights the potential dangers of misused science.
