'The Invisible Man' is a story of strange adventure (in the manner of Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels'). The story is told chronologically and near the end there is a flash-back. 'The Invisible Man' was first published in 1897. In 'Experiment In Autobiography' Wells tells the story of his life. His outline of history is perhaps the best one-volume history of humankind ever compiled by a single author and was followed by a companion work: 'The Science Of Life'. Wells outlined his socialist and internationalist solutions to civilisation's ills in several books of analysis and speculation: 'Anticipations', 'A Modern Utopia' and 'The Shape Of Things To Come'. He was a master of the comic novel ('Kipps: The Story Of A Simple Soul' and 'The History Of Mr. With Jules Verne, he was the inventor of Science Fiction. As a writer he had great influence.īy the time he was 30 years of age Wells had already embarked on his famous series of scientific romances, like 'The Time Machine' and 'War Of The Worlds'. Another grant took him to London University, from which he graduated with a degree in biology in 1890. Wells left school at the age of 14 but four years later, he won a scholarship to the Normal School Of Science in South Kensington, where he studied under Thomas Henry Huxley. Wells was born in Bromley, United Kingdom, in 1866 and died in 1946. 'The Invisible Man' is written by Herbert George Wells.
