Herbert George
Wells

(18661946)

Herbert George Wells was born in

1866 in Bromley, England into a
family where there was little
money to spare; his father ran a
small shop and played cricket
professionally and his mother
worked as a housekeeper. The
familys financial situation
meant that Wells had to work from
the age of fourteen to support
himself through education. His
success at school won him a free
place to study at a college of
science in London, after which he
became a science teacher. His
poor health made life difficult,
though, and he struggled to keep
his full-time job while trying to
write in his spare time.

He married twice. His first wife was Isabel Mary

Wells, but the marriage was not a success. Three
years later he left her for Amy Catherine Robbins,
a former pupil. By 1895 Wells had become a fulltime writer and lived comfortably from his work. He
traveled a lot and kept homes in the south of
France and in London, where he died in 1946.
Wells wrote about 40 works of fiction and
collections of stories; many books and shorter
works on political, social and historical matters,
three books for children n, and one about his own
life. His most important early works
established
Hello!!
him as the father of science fiction and it is for
these books that he is remembered. Best known are
The Time Machine(1895), The Invisible Man(1897),
The War of the Worlds(1898)and The First Men in the
Moon(1901). In all these works he shows a
remarkable imagination. He seemed to have the
ability to make intelligent guesses about future
scientific developments; he described travel
underwater and by air, for example, at time when
such journeys seemed to be pure fiction.

The stranger who wrapped up from

head to foot came early one winters
day in February. He lived in the inn
without giving a name. Although the
room was warn, the stranger didnt
want to put off his hat and coat. He
always held the napkin over the
lower part of his face. The top of
his head above his blue glasses was
covered by a white bandage, and that
another covered his ears, leaving
nothing of his face to be seen
except his pink, pointed nose.
Sometimes the innkeepers wife,
Mrs. Hall, tried to talk to him, but
it seemed that the stranger didnt
enjoy the company of others. He
usually locked himself in the room
and watched out the window. One
thing he only cared was his boxes
which he put at the station. After
some days, his boxes arrived. The
stranger came down the steps and
picked up the smaller case. Suddenly
the carriers dog growled and bit
him. He got hurt, but he didnt want
anybody to see his wound.

Chapters 1~4

There were many bottles

and books in the case. After
the stranger put all of
things in order, he started
to work and locked himself
in the room again. He hasnt
gone out for a long time,
he just worked and worked.
One day the doctor, Cuss,
was determined to visit the
stranger. Cuss knocked at
the door and entered. After
ten minutes later, the
doctor ran out the room with
white face. He told to the
vicar that the stranger had
no arm under his sleeve.
Wow!! That was so
unbelievable!!

CHAPTERs 5~8

In Whit Monday morning, Mr.

and Mrs. Hall heard a voice
downstairs. They woke up but they
didnt see anyone. They heard the
drawer was opened, and then their
found out that housekeeping money
was stolen! Almost at the same
time, they found the stranger
wasnt in his room. Mr. and Mrs.
Hall called the police. They
suspected that the thief was the
stranger.
Not long after, the stranger
was angry because everybody
doubted that he is the thief. The
stranger took off his hat, his
coat and his nose was rolling on
the floor. The stranger looked
almost invisible. Everybody was
shocked a lot.
The policemen tried to catch
the stranger, but he took off his
last shirt and ran away. The
invisible man caught a man, and
instigated him go back to the inn
to help him get his coat and hat
back.

Mr. Cuss and Mr. Bunting

were discussing about the
invisible mans books, and the
invisible man suddenly
appeared , holding their
necks. The invisible man said
that if they want to leave
safely , they should do what
he said.
Mr. Cuss and Mr. Buntings
clothes were taken away by the
invisible man. Although Mr.
Huxter and Mr. Hall tried to
help them catch Mr. Marvel
who ran with their clothes.
But they still couldnt
defeat the invisible man!
After running a long way,
Mr. Marvel was extremely
tired, and he thought he
couldnt run anymore! But the
invisible man said that he
will help him run faster!

Chapters 9~13

Next morning, Mr. Marvel

found himself sitting
outside a inn at Port
Stowe. After a few minutes,
he was talking about the
invisible man with a
sailor. As he was telling
something about the
invisible man to the
sailor, he suddenly felt
that the invisible man was
standing beside him. So he
quickly stopped and went
away.
When Dr. Kemp were
admiring the rich golden
color of the sunset. He saw
Mr. Marvel running fast ,
and he thought the man must
in a hurry. But he found
there were something
strange..

Chapters11~14

The doorbell rang, but there

was no body. Kemp continued
his work. Then he went down
to dining room in search of a
drink as a result of his
thirsty. His ability of
noticing things quickly made
him saw a dark spot on the
floor when he crossed the
hill. He seemed to hear a low
voice said help me!-Kemp It
was hard to believe for him.
The voice said to him that he
was Griffin. But Kemp
laughed. Its impossible. How
could a man become invisible?
They all calmed down for a
while. Kemp understood a
little more about the
invisible man by his story in
the paper. And Griffin told
him the story of his
scientific experiments to
make Kemp know how and why he
became invisible.

A few years ago, he

found which do to the
human flesh what the oil
does to the paper, which
holds up the light. It is
as if he had taken
powdered glass and turned
it back into the unbroken
glass of that window.
After years of care and
working in secret,
he had on money to do
anything. He had robbed
his father. And then he
had no idea to know how
to do. It came to his
mind was Disappear. It
was all done that day.

The invisible man told Kemp

his plan that he was going to
leave the country. Because the
invisible man said: if we are
to make any use of being
invisible, we must start by
killing. Kemp couldnt agree
it, so they had an argument.
When they went talking, the
chief of Burdock police and two
policemen arrived. Kemp wanted
to lock the invisible man in
the room, but it failed. The
invisible man was gone.
Kemp took sometime to explain
to Colonel Adye what had
happened. They decided to catch
him in every possible way. And
they needed dogs because dogs
could smell him. People who
live in the town heightened
vigilance.

Chapters18~22

Before night the whole country

was on guard and also before night
came news of the murder oh Mr.
Wicksteed. Somewhere on the road
the invisible man must have picked
up an iron bar.
Mr. Wicksteed, a quiet, harmless
man on his way home from work had
seen an iron bar walking by
itself, and had turned to follow
it. Perhaps the invisible man
imagined that he was one of
hunter. So he attacked him, broke
his arm, knock him down and beat
his head to pieces.
The invisible man must known he
was a hunted man. Kemp was
reading a strange letter. It said
Kemp will be dead today. Kemp
thought that the invisible man
wrote it. So he rang the bell for
his servant, and told her to go
round the house immediately, and
see that all the windows were
shut.

And Ayde came and found

that Kemps servant was
attacked.
They discussed how to
catch the invisible man and
did it. But then the
invisible man killed ayde.
And the invisible man
managed came in Kemps
house. And policemen also
arrived.
They started a fight. At
last Kemp escaped, and the
invisible man run after
him.

Chapter22

Finally Kemp caught the

invisible man with a
crowd of peoples help.
Those people used spades
and sticks to help him.
But the invisible man was
dying. And the invisible
man became more solid
every moment.
They covered his angry
and fearful face.
Griffin, the first of all
men to make himself
invisible, ended his
strange and terrible
life.

After thought

After reading the story, I think

it is very queer and amazing. At
the beginning, the author doesnt
make the entire story clear, which
make readers have a lot of
questions. Just like how the
invisible man became invisible and
what he wanted to do? All these
questions will make you continue to
read it and yearn for knowing the
result. In this story, the
invisible man wanted to control the
world. In order to realize his
dream, he did it by hook or by
crook. Finally he became lonely and
no one wanted to help him since he
was dangerous and ambitious.
The story tells us no one can
live against the world. And you
cant live without any friends. So
how to get along with others and
develop a good personality which
make others like you is important.
By the way, dont dream to be an
invisible man. It isnt fun at all.
