The Island Of Doctor Moreau

by H. G. Wells Author

Wells gives us a scientist who makes Dr. Frankenstein look tame. This masterpiece reveals the effects of the hubris of a brilliant but twisted biologist who goes to extremes in his quest to become a god creating his own life forms. It provides plenty of suspense and horror in addition to some questions of ethics to consider. The Island of Doctor Moreau tackles thorny issues and explores notions of society and identity, bringing the mythical chimera - part human, part animal - into the age of science. Wells brilliantly weaves a thought-provoking story of scientific excess and an exciting, high-speed thriller into one compelling tale. Loved by millions!
