A man shows up at a local inn at Iping on a snowy winter night. He is donning a long-sleeved thick coat and a pair of gloves. His face, hidden under a wide-brimmed hat, is bandaged all over. He looks like a victim of a horrible accident. He lodges at the inn and requests to be left alone. While the villagers gossip about him, the mystery man is fervently busy mixing certain chemicals in his room. He is Griffin, an unlucky scientist, who has made himself invisible and is now desperately trying to find an antidote for his invisibility. He has little idea that the hand of fate is invisibly at work against him.

The Invisible Man was first published in 1897 and has since bewitched its readers. It has been widely translated and made into films and dramas on many occasions
