One of H.G. Wells's masterpieces in science fiction, The Invisible Man follows experimental scientist Griffin who invents a serum designed to make the imbiber invisible. Having tested the potion on himself, Griffin discovers that it does not work exactly as intended and finds himself burdened with a condition for which there is no known remedy. As the voyeuristic reader, we follow Griffin's descent into madness, exploring the question of morality as the scientist explores the boundaries of what has become his new normal. But what will eventually become of Griffin? Is the transformation he has undergone - both mental and physical - permanent? And who can or will hold him accountable for his actions?

Genre Fiction

Emma Woodhouse lives a rich, comfortable village life in Highbury, entertaining herself by playing Cupid to those around her. However, she greatly overestimates her matchmaking abilities. Emma's over-confidence when trying to partner off her latest target - Harriet Smith - now seems to be causing more trouble than good. Blinded to the risks of meddling in others' affairs, could Emma be jeopardising her own chances for true love and happiness? This novel - a classic of British romantic fiction - remains popular to this day and continues to be adapted for film and stage, even though more than two hun-dred years have passed since its original publication.
