The Invisible Man

Autor H. G. Wells
en Limba Engleză Paperback
The stranger came early in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking from Bramblehurst railway station, and carrying a little black portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand. He was wrapped up from head to foot, and the brim of his soft felt hat hid every inch of his face but the shiny tip of his nose; the snow had piled itself against his shoulders and chest, and added a white crest to the burden he carried. He staggered into the "Coach and Horses" more dead than alive, and flung his portmanteau down. "A fire," he cried, "in the name of human charity A room and a fire " He stamped and shook the snow from off himself in the bar, and followed Mrs. Hall into her guest parlour to strike his bargain. And with that much introduction, that and a couple of sovereigns flung upon the table, he took up his quarters in the inn.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'The man's become inhuman ... He has cut himself off from his kind. His blood be upon his own head.'One night in the depths of winter, a bizarre and sinister stranger wrapped in bandages and eccentric clothing arrives in a remote English village. His peculiar, secretive activities in the room he rents spook the locals. Speculation about his identity becomes horror and disbelief when the villagers discover that, beneath his disguise, he is invisible. Griffin, as the man is called, is an embittered scientist who is determined to exploit his extraordinary gifts, developed in the course of brutal self-experimentation, in order to conduct a Reign of Terror on the sleepy inhabitants of England. As the police close in on him, he becomes ever more desperate and violent.In this pioneering novella, subtitled 'A Grotesque Romance', Wells combines comedy, both farcical and satirical, and tragedy - to superbly unsettling effect. Since its publication in 1897, The Invisible Man has haunted not only popular culture (in particular cinema) but also the greatest and most experimental novels of the twentieth century.

Notă biografică

H.G. Wells is often considered the father of science fiction, his seminal work being The Invisible Man. He also authored The War of the Worlds and The Time Machine, among other works now considered classics. 

Howie Green came to international attention with the publication of his first book Jazz Fish Zen. His work has garnered over forty-five awards and won Absolut Vodka's 25th Anniversary art competition in Boston, MA. Howie's work has been featured in over forty solo and group shows. He has created over fifty public art pieces and murals including three Cow Parade figures, a holiday mural for Boston City Hall, four giant golf balls for the PGA Tour in Rochester, NY, and two of his car designs were chosen as finalists in Volkswagen Polo's design competition in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Geoff Redknap is a writer and director with twenty-five years of experience in film and television as a special makeup effects artist and puppeteer. Geoff has worked on over eighty film and television projects, including: Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Terminator: Dark Fate, Deadpool 1 & 2, The Predator, I,Robot, Watchmen, and The X-Files. As a writer/director, his award-winning short films played festivals all over the world, as did his critically-acclaimed feature film The Unseen, a dramatic sci-fi thriller that reimagined H.G. Wells’ The Invisible Man.

Recenzii

[An] informative introduction... reading these OWC editions has enhanced my pleasure hugely; the introductions are always well written and give just the right amount of information to inform without overloading the reader with lots of irrelevant detail or academic jargon.
Very smart-looking new editions of SF classics.
The ideas that Wells explores are as relevant as ever

Caracteristici

Part of H.G. Wells new collection to include The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds
