《The Invisible Man》简介：

Spine-tingling and entertaining, The Invisible Man is a science fiction classic–and a penetrating, unflinching look into the heart of human nature. To its author, H. G. Wells, the novel was as compelling as “a good gripping dream.” But to generations of readers, the terrible and evil experiment of the demented scientist, Griffin, has conveyed a chilling nightmare of believable horror. An atmosphere of ever-increasing suspense begins with the arrival of a mysterious stranger at an English village inn and builds relentlessly to the stark terror of a victim pursued by a maniacal invisible man. The result is a masterwork: a dazzling display of the brilliant imagination, psychological insight, and literary craftsmanship that made H. G. Wells one of the most influential writers of his time.

《The Invisible Man》摘录：

“我记得走回空荡荡的家里，当年的村庄已经让那些偷工减料的建筑工糊弄成了徒有其表的镇子，真是不堪入目。无论走哪条路，尽头都是荒废的田地，堆着瓦砾，生着湿乎乎的野草。我记得我自己，一个枯瘦的黑影，踩着光洁滑脚的人行路，对这个故作清贫、利欲熏心的地方生出一种异样的生疏感。”
