Невидимець (англ. The Invisible Man) — роман англійського письменника Герберта Велза. Написаний в 1897 році. У своєму романі Велз виступав проти популярних у ті часи ідей надлюдини, що нібито має право управляти слабшими або менш розумними людьми й навіть знищувати їх. Українською роман переклали Микола Іванов і Дмитро Паламарчук в 1977 році.

Femme, elle reconnaît, décèle et dénonce en précurseur ce scandale d'autant plus occulté qu'il s’inscrit partout, s'étale avec une évidence majestueuse : le racisme ordinaire qui réduit les femmes à l’état d'êtres minoritaires, colonisés. Scandale politique. Dictature qui annonce toutes les autres.

In Febbre a 90' racconta in prima persona, con tono ironico e affettuoso, appassionato e divertito, gli entusiasmi e le depressioni, le impagabili emozioni e le cocenti delusioni vissute da un "ossessionato» del pallone.
