The Island of Doctor Moreau

Explore the terrifying and thrilling world of H. G. Wells' early classic, The Island of Doctor Moreau. Stranded on a Pacific island controlled by the infamous Dr. Moreau, the shipwrecked Edward Prendick faces dark secrets, strange creatures, and a reason to run for his life. Originally intended to comment on evolution, divine creation, and the tension between human nature and culture, the novel becomes an eerily prophetic commentary on the ethical issues of genetic engineering. With layers of interpretation that only add to the adventure, The Island of Doctor Moreau is a must-read novel, both for its literary merit and its chilling warning about the potential misuse of science.
