This book comprises an adventurous story. It is to be cherished not only for understanding of the uniqueness but also for the golden age of the scientific romances. Science fiction can no longer discuss the plain effects of the discoveries on ordinary people.
Griffin accidently stumbles upon the logically impossible idea that a man can be invisible. By relentless labour he achieves the impossible only to be introduced to the harsher realities of existence.
We look only for the perfecting of everyday things that we have already got still we expect to do things faster. There are no new horizonsonly extended horizons.
An interesting & exciting reading.
