I am a part, not a whole; I am a little instrument in the armoury of Change. If I were to burn all these papers, before a score of years had passed, some other man would be doing this. . . ' " H.G. Wells classic "The World Set Free," written in 1913 and originally published in 1914, predicting the atomic bomb. A true literary gem.

The Invisible Man tells explores the dark side of Science, of research gone horribly wrong. Rendered invisible by his experiments, the bandage-swaddled Griffin seeks solitude in a village inn and tries desperately to discover the antidote to his horrifying condition. But his peculiar appearance is met with suspicion by the villagers and he is eventually forced from his lodgings by the terrified neighbours - with disastrous consequences for all.

The Island of Dr Moreau is both an exciting adventure story, and H G Wells' prescient critique of the dangers of Science shorn of all emotion, of research driven only by a cold intellectual curiosity.
