The Invisible Man is a science fiction novel by H.G. Wells. Originally serialized in Pearson’s Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The invisible man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who devotes himself to research into optics, inventing a way to change a body’s refractive index to air so the body neither absorbs nor reflects light, thus becoming invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse it.
While its predecessors, The Time Machine and The Island of Doctor Moreau, were written using first-person narrators, Wells adopts a third-person objective point of view in The Invisible Man.
