Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

In H. G. Wells' 'The Invisible Man,' readers are drawn into a chilling narrative that interweaves scientific innovation and moral ambiguity. Through the story of Griffin, a scientist who discovers the key to invisibility, Wells explores themes of isolation, identity, and the destructive potential of unfettered ambition. His masterful prose shifts between horror and profound philosophical inquiry, revealing the dark side of human nature as Griffin grapples with his invisibility, both literally and metaphorically, in a society that refuses to accept him. The novel is a stirring reflection on the tension between scientific progress and ethical responsibility, situating itself within the broader context of the burgeoning scientific advancements of the late 19th century, particularly in the realm of physics and biology. Wells, often termed the 'father of science fiction,' draws on his background in biology and social criticism to craft this compelling tale. His own experiences with societal constraints and his desire to provoke thought regarding the repercussions of technological advancements undoubtedly shaped the narrative's direction. Wells's early exposure to the inequalities of Victorian society further fueled his exploration of themes related to power, control, and the human condition, allowing him to resonate with a diverse readership. 'The Invisible Man' is essential reading for those fascinated by the intersections of science, morality, and identity. It challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about ambition and empathy, making it profoundly relevant today. This thought-provoking work is highly recommended for anyone seeking to understand both the characters' psychological depths and the broader implications of isolation and desperation in the human experience.

Giới thiệu tác giả

H. G. Wells, born Herbert George Wells on September 21, 1866, in Bromley, Kent, was a prolific English writer who is best known for his works in the science fiction genre, his novels being visionary depictions of the future and thought experiments on the potentialities of humankind and technology. Wells' literary career was extensive and multifaceted, encompassing novels, short stories, histories, and social commentary. One of his most celebrated works, 'The Invisible Man' (1897), exemplifies his propensity for speculative fiction, following the tale of a scientist who grapples with the consequences of an experiment that renders him invisible. Wells' narrative style often combined an accessible, journalistic approach with imaginative foresight, dealing with themes of social injustice, evolutionary thought, and the potential perils of technological advancement. His other notable works include 'The Time Machine' (1895), 'The War of the Worlds' (1898), and 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' (1896), all of which have had a profound impact on the development of the science fiction genre and continue to be widely read and adapted into various media. H. G. Wells passed away on August 13, 1946, but remains one of the fathers of science fiction, with his work continuing to inspire wonder, caution, and contemplation among readers and thinkers around the world.
