Wells; a classic work of early science fiction that remains one of the author's most disturbing and unforgettable novels. When Edward Prendick is rescued from a shipwreck, he is left on a nearby island and soon discovers the home of the depraved Doctor Moreau, a mad scientist conducting unspeakable animal experiments with hideous, human-like results. While gene-splicing and bioengineering are common practices today, Wells's haunting vision raised ethical questions more than a century before our time. Originally published in 1896, Wells's story reflects the scientific controversies disrupting the societal norm in the late 1800s, including increased opposition to animal vivisection and growing discussion of Darwinism and the degeneration of the human race. Published just one year after his first novel.
