Beschreibung
A scientist invents a machine that can travel through the fourth dimension - time. What will he find? And what will that tell him about man's inexorable pursuit of knowledge? What he discovers shocks him-and may have lessons for us all.

The Invisible Man invents a way to change his body so that light is neither absorbed nor reflected. But is his new found ability a blessing or a curse? A cautionary tale of greed and hubris.

As the nineteenth century drew, exhausted, to a close with its relentless pace of change, forward thinkers like H.G Wells turned their attention to the future - a future of new invention, new discovery and new dangers. For progress can come at a price: is it worth paying?

Über den Autor
Herbert George Wells was an influential English writer, best known for his works in science fiction, though his prolific output spanned various genres, including history, social commentary, politics, and autobiography. Born on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, London, Wells attended the Normal School of Science in London, where he studied biology under Thomas Henry Huxley. Wells initially worked as a teacher and journalist before turning to writing full time. Over his career, he penned more than fifty novels, along with numerous short stories and non-fiction works. His early works, such as "The Time Machine," "The War of the Worlds," and "The Invisible Man," helped establish him as one of the pioneers of modern science fiction. He also explored themes of social justice, the possibilities of science and technology, and the complexities of human nature in works like "The History of Mr. Polly" and "The Shape of Things to Come." Throughout his life, Wells engaged in political and philosophical discourse, influenced by thinkers like Mark Twain and Plato. He died on August 13, 1946, in London, leaving behind a legacy that shaped the development of speculative fiction and continued to inspire future generations of writers and thinkers.
