Description

This short story is a fascinating case study of a man who experiences a strange phenomenon. Davidson, the protagonist, suddenly finds himself able to see beyond the normal range of human vision. He can see into the infrared and ultraviolet spectrums of light, allowing him to perceive things that are normally invisible to the naked eye. This new ability comes with some drawbacks, however, as Davidson struggles to adjust to his new way of seeing the world.

Author

H. G. Wells (1866–1946) was born in Bromley, trained in biology under Huxley, and turned that laboratory habit into fiction. The Time Machine sent a Victorian into deep time; The War of the Worlds brought the sky down on the Home Counties. He wrote as if the future were a social problem with monsters attached. The novels argue while they entertain. A draper's son who made scientific romance a public language.
