About the book

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, humanlike results. Edward Prendick, an English-man 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.

Ein Schiffsunglück, eine einsame Insel, ein geheimnisvoller Doktor, grausame Experimente, seltsame Kreaturen - einmal umrühren und fertig ist ein erstaunlich zeitloser Klassiker. Und im Hintergrund schwebt die Frage, was einen Menschen zu einem Menschen macht.

Just amazing.
I love the way Wells picks up the topics he wants to discuss and shows the reader clearly where the issue lies. This book as a statement towards animal cruelty by showing off humanly and animalistic cruelty is amazing to show the aftermath of animal experiments. Especially written in a time as H. G. Wells lived. I love this author and I loved this book.

There are some more lengthy parts, but it's quite a good story nonetheless, exploring the boundaries between human and animal (or monster).
