El hombre invisible
by H.G. WellsLa novela visionaria de H. G. Wells que dio origen a uno de los personajes más influyentes en la cultura popular del último siglo. En esta fantasía de 1897, H. G. Wells advierte sobre los peligros de la ciencia mal utilizada y critica ferozmente las ambiciones de sus contemporáneos. La trama se centra en las investigaciones de un brillante científico que descubre la forma de hacerse invisible. Sin embargo, incapaz de revertir sus experimentos y trastornado por los sufrimientos que le causan, decide utilizar la invisibilidad para sembrar el mal, sin detenerse siquiera ante el asesinato. Novela precursora de la ciencia ficción, El hombre invisible ha dado lugar a un sinnúmero de imitaciones y adaptaciones, enraizando como pocas en el imaginario popular. Sobre el autor:«Como Quevedo, como Voltaire, como Goethe, como algún otro más, Wells es menos un literato que una literatura».Jorge Luis Borges «Descubrir a Wells era una experiencia maravillosa [...] Wells era, en general, un verdadero profeta».George Orwell «Wells fue el fundador de la ciencia ficción, y sus utópicas novelas fantásticas han demostrado de un modo inquietante que estaba en lo cierto».Daily Telegraph
