Author- H.G.Wells

"To be invisible has been man's ultimate fantasy. But the troubles and difficulties one encounters on being invisible are never given a thought."

            - Alston 

The story opens on a snowy winter evening in rural Iping Village, England at the turn of the century. A stranger checks into a country inn with his face bandaged up as though from a horrible accident. He demands privacy and for his cases to be brought up from the station in the morning. The local people just can't seem to keep from trying to glimpse at what lies beneath the man's wrappings. Unusual occurrences begin and the stranger is suspected of being a thief. The stranger enlists the help of an unwilling beggar, Marvel who is so unnerved that he runs for his life taking off with the stranger's possessions. The stranger is forced to flee after it is determined that he is in fact an invisible man. The stranger comes upon the residence of Dr. Kemp who finally is told the identity of the stranger. The man is Jack Griffin, a brilliant chemistry student who is described as almost an albino(An individual with complete absence of melanin is called an albino). In great detail he tells Kemp of how the whole thing happened as a part of his studies on an unfortunate cat, his act of arson to his living quarters, his flight from the law, and how he now wants to use his invisibility to conquer the world. Griffin neglects to mention that the experiment has made him insane for want of power. Kemp is unsympathetic but plays along with Griffin while sending a note to the local constable. The law is after him yet again but he manages to slip away. He is enraged at Dr. Kemps deceitful act and vows revenge. He assaults Kemp's home, breaking all the windows and chopping through a door with an axe bringing the action and the story to its climax.
