” You don’t understand.” he said.” who I am or what I am. I’ll show you. By Heavens! I’ll show you.” Then he put his open palm over his face and withdrew it. The center of his face became a black cavity.”
If you get a chance to hug someone, and you are given two choices, first a ghost, and second an invisible man, whom would you like to embrace?
Just their names are different, their existence same, their subsistence same, and they upkeep themselves in the same way. And the way is that they don’t like to be seen!
Whom would you prefer?
I will go for the ghost, as after reading this book I have truly caught on to the fact that a ghost can give you an unshapely cuddle or an empty fondle, in such an embrace, without you feeling anything, but an invisible man can kick you hard on your rump if he is not in the mood!
I read H G Wells first time.
Very interesting book, short, funny, entertaining, suspenseful, scientific, and horrific too!
It can create a tempestuous ruckus inside your head!
I was too overwrought when I was listening to the revelation of this man’s turning invisible scientifically and struggling for his own existence before creating life hell for others, in his own word! I was all agog! That was the best part for me.
It was written in such clever language maintaining the particularity and exactness of the case.
“Once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely.”
― H.G. Wells
