On an uncharted South Pacific island, the mad genius Doctor Moreau has found
refuge. It’s here, away from London and the civilized world, that the
scientist can conduct his experiments on animals without condemnation. When
Edward Prendick, the sole survivor of a shipwreck, washes ashore, he bears
witness to Moreau’s cruel research and its bloody, inevitable unraveling. In
exploring the disquieting crossroads of scientific progress and ethical
responsibility, Wells’s cautionary account of the perversion of natural order
rattles readers’ sensibilities to this day.
