What if no one could see you-and nothing could stop you?

Driven by obsession, gifted physicist Griffin cracks the secret of light and refraction, turning his own body into vaporous stealth. But invisibility proves a curse: hunger, cold, and the panic of isolation drive him to violence. As the countryside reels from unseen attacks, former colleague Dr. Kemp must choose between friendship and stopping a monster.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation:

- The Birth of the "Mad Scientist" Thriller - A blueprint for generations of sci-fi and horror.

- A Study in Power and Paranoia - Witness how freedom from consequence corrupts absolutely.

- Relentless Cat-and-Mouse Suspense - Footprints in snow, doors flung wide, a whispered breath at your ear.

- Ethical Questions Still Pressing Today - Technology, anonymity, and the human capacity for cruelty.

- Smooth Contemporary Prose - Antiquated terms refined while Wells' urgency and satire remain razor-sharp.

Can any society survive a man who moves in perfect silence?
