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 family’s financial situation meant that Wells had to work from the age of fourteen to 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 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 ed. 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 winter’s day in February. He lived in the inn without giving a name. Although the room was warn, the stranger didn’t 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 innkeeper’s wife, Mrs. Hall, tried to talk to him, but it seemed that the stranger didn’t 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 carrier’s dog growled and bit him. He got hurt, but he didn’t 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 hasn’t 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t 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 man’s 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. Bunting’s 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 couldn’t defeat the invisible man! After running a long way, Mr. Marvel was extremely tired, and he thought he couldn’t 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 iring 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. It’s 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 couldn’t 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 Kemp’s 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 Kemp’s 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 people’s 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 doesn’t 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 can’t 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, don’t dream to be an invisible man. It isn’t fun at all.
