About the book

H.G. Wells (1866-1946) wrote some of the great classics of speculative fiction in English, including The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), which might be said to be about unholy genetics. The work's biological and sociopolitical ideas are still current (such were the range and depth of Wells' ideas). Wells continued to work on Doctor Moreau for nearly thirty years after its initial publication in London (the New York first edition added a subtitle A Possibility), finally letting go of the work after the publication of the Atlantic Edition in 1924. Annotated by the premier Wellsian scholar, this is an exhaustive critical edition, examining the historical, medical, philosophical and literary contexts of the story.

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).
