Résumé

Résumé : "The Invisible Man: A Grotesque Romance" by H. G. Wells is a compelling narrative that explores the arrival and mysterious activities of a stranger in the small village of Iping. The story begins with the arrival of a peculiar man, heavily bandaged and wearing large blue spectacles, who takes up residence at the "Coach and Horses" inn. His secretive nature and unusual appearance quickly become the subject of village gossip and speculation. The stranger, who is later revealed to be Griffin, a scientist who has discovered the secret of invisibility, is initially perceived as a reclusive and irritable figure. His interactions with the villagers are marked by tension and suspicion, particularly after a series of strange occurrences, including a burglary at the vicarage and the inexplicable movement of furniture in his room. As the narrative unfolds, the stranger's true identity and the nature of his experiments are gradually revealed. Griffin's invisibility, initially a scientific triumph, becomes a curse as he struggles with the consequences of his actions and the isolation it brings. The villagers' curiosity and fear escalate, leading to a series of confrontations that culminate in a dramatic and violent climax. Throughout the story, Wells explores themes of isolation, the ethical implications of scientific discovery, and the fine line between genius and madness. The novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition and the potential dangers of unbridled scientific evolution.
