The Invisible Man to whom the title refers is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and who invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light.

The novel is considered influential, and helped establish Wells as the "father of science fiction". Plot summary A mysterious man, Griffin, referred to as 'the strang ...
