Herbert George Wells (1866 – 1946) was an English writer. He was proli? c in many genres, writing dozens of novels, short stories, and works of social commentary, but he is now best remembered for his science ?ction novels. “The Invisible Man” is a science ? ction novella that tells a story of a mysterious man, Grif? n, who arrives at the local inn of the English village of Iping during a snowstorm. He wears a long-sleeved, thick coat and gloves; his face is hidden entirely by bandages except for a fake pink nose; and he wears a wide-brimmed hat. He is excessively reclusive, irascible, and unfriendly. He demands to be left alone and spends most of his time in his rooms working with a set of chemicals and laboratory apparatus, only venturing out at night.
