Summary:
"Written in 1896, The
Island
of Dr.
Moreau
is one of the earliest scientific romances. An instant sensation, it was meant as a commentary on Darwin's theory of evolution, which H.G. Wells stoutly believed. The story centers on the depraved Dr.
Moreau
, who conducts unspeakable animal experiments on a remote tropical
island
, with hideous, human-like results. Edward Prendick, an Englishman whose misfortunes bring him to the
island
, is witness to the Beast Folk's strange civilization and their eventual terrifying regression. While gene-splicing and bioengineering are common practices today, readers are still astounded at Wells's haunting vision and the ethical questions he raised a century before our time."--Publisher.
