BANISTER BOOK GROUP Tuesday, October 30, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The Invisible Man by H. G. Wells (1866-1946), published in 1897.

Originally serialized in Pearson's Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The invisible man of the title is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a way to change a body’s refractive index to that of air so that it absorbs and reflects no light and thus becomes invisible. He successfully carries out this procedure on himself, but fails in his attempt to reverse the procedure. 

We will meet at the Felton House, 18 Common Street, Brookfield

Movies and discussion questions are available at the library.
