“The Invisible Man” by H.G. Wells. Paris: Calmann-Lévy, (1912). French softcover edition. Cover art by Louis Strimpl.
"Originally serialized in 'Pearson's Weekly' in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. 'The Invisible Man' to whom the title refers is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and who invents a way to change a body's refractive index to that of air so that it neither absorbs nor reflects light. He carries out this procedure on himself and renders himself invisible, but fails in his attempt to reverse it. A practitioner of random and irresponsible violence, Griffin has become an iconic character in horror fiction." -- Wikipedia
