Отрывок из книги «The Invisible Man» Герберта Уэльса

"It happened at Chesilstowe College, when I was 22, said Griffin. You know I dropped medicine and took up physics? No? I have always been interested in light. And being 22 then, I decided to devote my life to this. I went to work, and I worked like a slave. And I had an idea that I could make the refractive index of an object the same as the refractive index of air”.

“Consider: Visibility depends on the action of the visible bodies on light. Either a body absorbs light, or it reflects or refracts it, or does all these things. If it neither reflects nor refracts nor absorbs light, it cannot of itself be visible. You see a red box, for instance, because it absorbs some of the light and reflects the red part of the light to you. A shining white box reflects all the light. And a glass box refracts and reflects little light, and hardly absorbs any light at all. If you take a piece of glass and put it in water, it becomes even less visible. See that?" Yes," said Kemp, "that is quite easy."

"And here is another fact you will know to be true. If you take a piece of glass and crush it into white powder, it becomes much more visible. Each small bit of this powder reflects and refracts the light which passes through it. But if you put the white glass powder into water, it becomes absolutely invisible. Water and the glass powder have almost the same refractive index, and they refract and reflect almost no light. That is, a transparent thing becomes invisible if you put it where the refractive index is the same. And we can suggest that if we make the refractive index of the glass powder the same as that of air, it can become invisible too.”

"Yes, yes," said Kemp. "But a man's not powdered glass!"

"No," said Griffin. "He's more transparent!"

"Nonsense!"

"Have you already forgotten your physics, in ten years? Just think of all the things that are transparent and seem not to be so. Paper, for instance, is made up of transparent fibres, and it is white. Put some oil on it, the oil fills in the gaps between smallest bits of fibers and makes the paper reflect and refract very little light. The paper becomes as transparent as glass. And not only paper, but cotton fibre, linen, fibre, wool, wood, fibre, and bone, Kemp, flesh, hair, nails and nerves, Kemp - all these things are made of transparent fibers. Everything in a man is transparent and colourless except his red blood and the black pigment of hair. "Great Heavens!" cried Kemp.

I went on working, trying to make my ideas into an experiment, and a reality. And suddenly I made a discovery in physiology."

• "Yes?"

• "You know that blood is red. But it can be made white - colourless – and remain with all the functions it has now!"

• Kemp gave a cry of surprise.

"I remember that night. It was late at night," Said the Invisible Man. I had worked the whole day with students, and at that moment I was alone in my laboratory. I could make an animal transparent! I could make it invisible! I could be invisible!' "To do such a thing is more than magic. Invisibility means so much for a man - the mystery, the power, the freedom. You have only to think! And I worked three years and I found that it was impossible to complete it". "Why?" asked Kemp. "I needed money," said the Invisible Man, and went again to stare out of the window.

"I had left the Chesilstowe cottage already," he said, "when that happened. It was last December. I had taken a room in London, a large unfurnished room in a in a slum near Great Portland Street. The room was soon full of the appliances I had bought.

"I will tell you, Kemp, sooner or later, about my calculations. There is no need to go into them now. For the most part they are described in those books that tramp has hidden. We must find him. We must get those books back."

ACTIVITIES TO THE TEXT

1. Put True or False opposite the sentences

1. Visibility depends on the action of the visible bodies on light -

2. A body can absorb light, or it reflects or refracts it –

3. A glass box hardly absorbs any light at all –

4. If you put piece of glass in water, it becomes even less visible –

5. A red box reflects the red part of the light to you –

6. The main hero worked in his own laboratory and made experiments –

7. He described his calculations in its own book -

1. Ask 3 questions to find out about the following topics

• The main hero’s interest

• The Invisible Man’s book

• His work with students

• His experiment with a glass

1. Составить план анализа произведения по литературе

Общий план анализа текста включает следующие пункты:

• смысл и символика названия (The title and it’s symbolism);

• жанровая принадлежность (cоциальная/бытовая драма, опера, басня

былина, баллада, миф, новелла, повесть, рассказ, роман фантастический/научно-фантастический)

• идея, тема и главные проблемы – idea, theme and main problems. (Идея автора – показать судьбу физика-изобретателя, показать гениальное изобретение ученого)

• композиционная структура и основные сюжетные моменты. Сюжет произведения это содержание, тема, о чём оно рассказывает, перечисление событий. Композиция это построение произведения, его форма. В композиции есть начало, завязка, в которой происходит либо знакомство с героями, либо описание места действия. Самое главное, центральное место композиции называется кульминация. Затем может быть финал и послесловие. Композиция может заключаться в разбивке на части, главы.

• Конфликт. Действующие персонажи и образы. Авторская позиция.

• Средства художественного выражения (метафоры, эпитеты, сравнения)

• Выводы.
