The Invisible Man (Diversion Classics)Diversion Books, 2016年3月29日 Featuring an appendix of discussion questions, this Diversion Classics edition is ideal for use in book groups and classrooms. Considered to be one of the most influential works of science fiction, THE INVISIBLE MAN is the gripping story of Griffin, a scientist so devoted to optics that he creates a serum to alter a body’s refractive index to neither reflect nor absorb light, making himself invisible. The problem: it can’t be reversed. Griffin’s descent into madness makes this one of the most memorable works of H.G. Wells and a timeless read. |
