1) The Invisible Man A mysterious stranger arrives at a small English village, wrapped head to toe in bandages, wearing dark goggles and a wide-brimmed hat. He keeps to himself, speaks to no one and hides a secret that will shock the entire town. Griffin, a brilliant but unstable scientist, has discovered a formula to make himself invisible. What seems like an extraordinary gift quickly becomes a curse, isolated from the world, consumed by madness and driven by a dangerous obsession, he turns from a man of science into a man of terror. A thrilling story about the price of ambition, the danger of isolation and the fine line between genius and madness. 2) The Time Machine A brilliant scientist known only as the Time Traveller builds an incredible machine that can move through time itself. He travels eight hundred thousand years into the future and discovers a world beyond all imagination. Humanity has split into two very different races: the gentle and carefree Eloi, who live on the surface in beauty and leisure, and the terrifying Morlocks, who lurk in the darkness underground. What happened to civilisation? And will the Time Traveller ever find his way back home? A groundbreaking story that invented the science fiction genre as we know it - full of suspense, imagination and thought-provoking ideas about the future of humanity.
